The a culmination of more than a decade of research exploring issues of digital property and data infrastructure in architecture and the built environment, MacDowell Fellow in architecture @wendywfok’s (22) new book, 𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘚𝘛𝘙𝘜𝘊𝘛𝘜𝘙𝘌𝘚: 𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘜𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘯 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘤 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦, came out this week with @ORO_Editions. Through the late winter of 2022 at MacDowell, Wendy was working on everything from an edit on book to its cover and branding. (#MadeAtMacDowell) Using a mixed-media approach, Wendy’s research aims to challenge the future of work in retail, urban living, consumption, digital and real property, creative entrepreneurship, and technology-driven and innovative business models. Through this work, they ask the following question: “If our everyday objects are digital and no longer physical, how does it challenge ecological questions?” To prolong the shelf-life of emergent data and case-studies on the topic, Wendy complements the book with an open-access digital platform with video interviews with industry experts, diagrammatic mapping and graphical cartography, and 3D artifacts that shows how data interacts with phygital properties.
