more on the net lab:
Kazys Varnelis is the Director of the Network Architecture Lab at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation. The Network Architecture Lab is a research entity dedicated to investigating how computation, communications, and changing social networks impact architecture and the city. Over the last quarter century as technology, economics, the public sphere, culture, urbanism—even subjectivity—have mutated, the network has emerged as our dominant cultural logic. The Netlab seeks to understand the consequences of these changes and develop appropriate responses.
