Courtyard House 1/3: Concrete is a material of resistance to Parametricism; it forces architects to deal with real plans while avoiding the algorithmic generation of irrational shapes or futile acts of formalism. In this enclave, composed of a main house and its four outbuildings, space becomes an instrument of calculated estrangement. The courtyard house abstracts domesticity into a sequence of mute planes, where light—modulated through apertures and angled chromatic veils—constructs a territory governed less by habitation than by the algorithmic logic inscribed onto its surfaces. The outbuildings are a device for regulating the phenomenology of space. Light renders space as a calculable abstraction. The silent presence of robotic machines does not disturb the architecture; rather, it exposes the latent rationality inscribed in every planar surface.

Courtyard House 2/3: the main house and its undecorated chambers are an ideological apparatus where humans and robots survey the environment to act not as occupants but as interpretive devices, exposing the house’s latent ambitions: to transform architecture into a field of perceptual operations, into a laboratory in which the phenomenology of vision, memory, and spatial hierarchy are continuously recalibrated. The courtyard’s measured geometries assert an ascetic discipline, where nature survives only as a residual sign.

Courtyard House 3/3: the outbuildings are concrete volumes, suggesting a precarious coexistence between organic life and synthetic intelligence. This courtyard is a stage for speculative inhabitation, where architecture confronts its own future: standardized, austere, programmable, and suspended between contemplation and control. The outbuildings, simultaneously open and hermetic, anchor this system of introspective geometry. Water, trees, and concrete join in an uneasy alliance, their serenity undermined by the pervasive technological gaze. Here, architecture is both refuge and instrument—reflecting the ideological tensions of an enclave seeking permanence amid perpetual transformation.

Courtyard House 1/3: In this concrete enclave, in San Francisco’s sanctum of Artificial Intelligence (AI), space becomes an instrument of calculated estrangement. The courtyard house abstracts domesticity into a sequence of mute planes, where light—modulated through apertures and angled chromatic veils—constructs a territory governed less by habitation than by the algorithmic logic inscribed onto its surfaces. The courtyard becomes a device for regulating the phenomenology of space. Light—filtered, angled, almost algorithmic—renders space as a calculable abstraction. The silent presence of machines does not disturb the architecture; rather, it exposes the latent rationality inscribed in every planar surface.

Courtyard House 2/3: within these undecorated chambers, human presence dissolves into machinic proxies. the house ceases to be “a shelter” and becomes “a dwelling.” In fact, the concept of dwelling becomes its ideological apparatus. The robots surveying the environment act not as occupants but as interpretive devices, exposing the house’s latent ambition: to transform architecture into a field of perceptual operations, a laboratory in which the phenomenology of vision, memory, and spatial hierarchy are continuously recalibrated. These robotic figures traverse voids calibrated like evolutionary equations, stripping inhabitation of sentiment. The courtyard’s measured geometries assert an ascetic discipline, where nature survives only as a residual sign.

Courtyard House 3/3: at night, illuminated thresholds fracture the homogeneity of concrete volumes, suggesting a precarious coexistence between organic life and synthetic intelligence. The courtyard becomes a stage for speculative inhabitation, where architecture confronts its own future: austere, programmable, and suspended between contemplation and control. The outbuildings, simultaneously open and hermetic, anchor this system of introspective geometry. Water, trees, and concrete join in an uneasy alliance, their serenity undermined by the pervasive technological gaze. Here, architecture reveals its double nature—at once refuge and instrument—reflecting the ideological tensions of an artificial-intelligence enclave seeking permanence amid perpetual transformation.

h the support of the University of Florida Press, faculty members Carmen Guerrero and Jaime Correa have published the results of an adaptive reuse studio project undertaken by a group of 16 upper-level students. Invited by the Office of Cultural Heritage in Santo Domingo, the project was funded through the Brian Canin Urban Design Gift to the University of Miami’s School of Architecture. These funds supported travel and research in the Dominican Republic. The book, titled Historic Sugar Mills in Santo Domingo: Case Studies in Adaptive Reuse, examines similar case studies from around the world, offers alternative designs for the adaptive transformation of four significant 15th-century historic sugar mills in southeastern Dominican Republic, and provides insights into the complex and poignant history of slavery, autonomy, and economic development. This initiative contributes to a broader mission of enhancing the Dominican Republic’s well-established tourism industry by shifting focus from the natural landscape to a deeper respect for its material culture design
