The Network Architecture Lab (Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation) directed by Kazys Varnelis:

Specifically, the Network Architecture Lab investigates the impact of computation and communications on architecture and urbanism. What opportunities do programming, telematics, and new media offer architecture? How does the network city affect the building? Who is the subject and what is the object in a world of networked things and spaces? How do transformations in communications reflect and affect the broader socioeconomic milieu? The NetLab seeks to both document this emergent condition and to produce new sites of practice and innovative working methods for architecture in the twenty-first century. Using new media technologies, the lab aims to develop new interfaces to both physical and virtual space.

More on this on BLDGBLOG. Why do I blog this? it's been a while that I spotted Kazys' new lab and I am curious to see how this works collide and to read more about their work.
