PROCESS explores the evolving nature of the contemporary design methodologies and their various conceptual and material connotations. The exhibition brings together for the first time a range of architects and designers pushing the boundaries of their fields using the revolutionary possibilities offered by creative coding, digital simulations of natural phenomena or various other iterative techniques.
 
Curated by Vlad Tenu, the exhibition opens on 1st November at SOHO Fuxing Plaza, one of the most recent additions to Shanghai’s skyline, and features recent and new work from award-wining architects and design researchers Alisa Andrasek, Isaie Bloch, Bloom (Alisa Andrasek and Jose Sanchez), Matias del Campo & Sandra Manninger, Loop.Ph (Mathias Gmachl and Rachel Wingfield), Arthur Mamou-Mani, NotaNumber Architects (NaNA), Gilles Retsin, Jose Sanchez, ScanLAB Projects, Richard Scott, Robert Stuart-Smith, Marios Tsiliakos, Vlad Tenu and Daniel Widrig.
 
An immersive experience will take over the 31st floor of SOHO Fuxing, creating a vibrant space of contact and interaction with installations and architectural experiments conceived through various systematic creative mechanisms or algorithmic techniques and materialised through cutting-edge fabrication technologies.
 
Vlad Tenu, the curator of the exhibition, said: From the analogue to the digital, from the rational to the poetic, from the numeric to the musical, the diversity of approaches illustrates the endless palette of their applications in architecture, design, fashion and art. Bringing together these distinct and potent design sensibilities, PROCESS celebrates creatives who are enhancing our lives and shaping the future.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a programme of talks on 2nd November, delivered by Ermis Adamantidis & Dominiki Dadatsi (NaNA), Isaie Bloch, Mathias Gmachl (Loop.pH), Arthur Mamou-Mani, Sandra Manninger, Gilles Retsin, Richard Scott, Rob Stuart-Smith, Vlad Tenu and Marios Tsiliakos, a series of student workshops from 28 to 31 October, and a dedicated publication.
EUSight commits itself to be an incubator of stars and masters, playing a key role in promoting the next generation of great designers and architects – says Director Cheng Sheng. Our aim is to push the boundaries of what is possible and provide insight into worlds beyond the familiar.
