Ludger Hovestadt is an architect and computer scientist, and, since 2000, Professor for computer-aided architectural design at the ETH Zurich. He is working at the borderline of calculability, and coined the terms "narrative infrastructures" and "serious story telling" to open up the manifold possibilities of information technology to architecture. He has founded several companies. The emphasis of his current research is on how in architecture, by a proper understanding of the nature of electricity and its relation to infrastructures, thinking might be prompted to shift from energy crisis to energy culture and its truly optimistic outlook. Vera Bühlmann holds an MA in English Literature and Language Studies, and a PhD in media philosophy. She is founder and head of the laboratory for applied virtuality at CAAD ETH Zurich. Applied virtuality expresses the orientation of the theory lab towards how technics, artifice and literacy can constitute architectonic thought in a manner capable of cultivating the power of digital code, electricity, and information technology. Her interest is in thinking towards such architectonics in terms of a critical rationalism, mediated by an alphabetization of algebraic thingness, a "characteristica res generica".
