As aerial robotics, mixed reality (MR), spatial tracking and intelligent components progressively permeated design professions and construction practices throughout the 2020s and into 2030, design activists throughout the globe initiated and executed renegade architectural actions that simultaneously combatted urgencies of the era while providing a host of spatial civic bonuses. Expanded collaborative modes of hyper-localized design engagement were facilitated by increased access to interactive multisystems, which coupled computational black box applications and deployable gear with augmented low-tech construction approaches. Through the lens of this thickened cyber-physical reality, complex and complicated urban conditions were seen afresh as opportunities for impactful transformation, prompting new modes of practice that produced an incredibly rich array of new architectural operations and typologies.
