This week’s buildings are being selected by architectural critic @HughPearman who, amongst other things, is editor of the @RIBAJ.

The sixth of his choices is below. Can you identify it from this image? All of those who correctly identify the building by the end of Sunday (we don’t think there will be many) will go into a draw to win the second WB Trophy.

Let us know what building this is by DM-ing @WhatBuilding to win a prize.*

The Generator Project

The Generator Project, conceived and designed by Cedric Price in 1976 and John Frazer as computational consultant, is mentioned in the bibliography as the first “intelligent” building that “ knew itself” and was readjusting to user’s desires, while was also capable to generate new solutions to trigger their reactions. As an unbuild speculative study of multiple design levels, Generator was manifesting many revolutionary ideas, such as the embedded intelligence and behavior in the building itself and the isomorphism of model structure and the processor configuration. The project weaved together a systemic conception of architecture with a syntactic approach and a computer program with a physical interface for the manipulation of the various possible configurations.
