SlamhoundsSlamhounds are small pieces of digital code that act as architectural viruses within a virtual environment.
For this Project we have written three slamhounds that are executed in parellel.
Slamhound 01 has been designed to mimic a virtual QS and attempts to make all the strut lengths 1800mm long.
Slamhound 02 has been designed to make all the ramps 1:20 slopes to suit building regulations.
Slamhound 03 has been designed to access the emergent landscape and determine area that are suitable to accommodate seating (based on metric handbook data).
The project has a fourth Slamhound that is the 'Human Slamhound'. The human slamhound is formed by people access in the developing landscape online. People are encouraged to make revisions to the landscape as they see fit.
The virtual Slamhounds then act as filters getting rid of 'unfit' human interventions.
The result is a physical 'Myspace' which hangs under an unused viaduct in Manchester.
