Based on the author's project “Global Eye(s): Sensing and Monitoring/Observation Technologies, Instruments and Architecture”, “Frequencies: The Invisible Spectre”, and studies on cross-disciplinarity in architectural theory and practice from the Doctoral Thesis ''Scripts and Codes of the Architectural Design Process: Disciplinary Borders and Transfers" (particularly focused on integration and common ground of architecture, mathematics, physics, geography, astronomy, philosophy, arts, science, design and engineering) the work 'exo', being the part of the Design Research Lab initiative, develops and questions the topics of comprehensive sensing, intelligent technologies, automated control, satellite monitoring and architecture of information (datascapes) as integrative elements of architectural spatial concepts, objects and systems (methodological remote/close-up sensing triangulation), as well as the themes on cosmic space and the scenarios conveying the ideas of their research as the context and a trigger of innovation through application, advancement and new discoveries in the previously mentioned fields.
(in reference to the text 'Personal remote/close-up sensing instruments and architecturally integrated networks').

Inquiring the questions of prototyping (conceptual, semantic, object design and sci-fi prototyping methodology) and machine-software-architectural design/engineering integrative approach (within the field of design science and design research methodology), 'exo' is an ‘instrument’ (‘architecture-mechanism/machine’) which, working across the wide range of frequencies, registers and identifies chosen contextual parameters, processing and making them operative for architectural formal integration, research, scientific and artistic problematisation. Active physical fields and different activities within the environment are brought to the level of intelligibility, precise measuring and high-tech artistic and aesthetic interpretation, anticipating adaptive automation and control planned for the last phases of the experiment.
[...]

The 'instrument' (in comparison with the notions of the 'installation' or the 'machine') implies the higher degree of sophistication, precision, refinement and design/engineering attention that follow functional, operative, analytical, structural, or aesthetic registers of design problem-solving under the conditions of their mutual contingency.

'exo' stands for the "satellite space" beyond the domain and the range of that which is immediate, familiar and directly visible; it is beyond the narrow disciplinary competencies, institutionalised knowledge, frame, control and appropriation ; it is the extended field of cross-disciplinary integration and collaboration, the field of the research challenges and realisation on multiple levels;

'exomilieu' thus is not just any kind of the existing, expected, easily experienced or predominantly built context over-saturated with all the socially constructed identities; its physical aspects are basic, superior to such significations, immaterial or at the scale of the matter which has more subtle effects on our sensory mechanisms.

Reacting on and uncovering these layers of space, 'exointelligentinstrument' is its temporary mirror – ‘eye’ - at the same time the spectator and active performer, both external/privileged and internal/inherent, distanced/metacognitive and mediating/diagrammatic agent; through technological integration of human and superhuman features, a creator of the new cosmography.
