Digital Architectural Design as Exploration of Computable Functions
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent decades, new methodologies have emerged in architectural design that exploit the computer as a design tool.This has generated a varied set of digital skills and a new type of architectural knowledge. However, up to now, a theoretical framework is missing that would allow for a comprehensive pedagogical agenda for the teaching of digital design in architecture.The present paper offers an attempt towards such a theoretical grounding based on the concept of computable functions.This approach results in an abstract and formal perspective on digital design that enables a grouping of contemporary digital design methods and an understanding of their logical relationship. On a theoretical level, it opens a path for the study of the mechanism that facilitates the transfer of concepts from various scientific disciplines into architecture. Figure 1. Paradigmatic shift in physics and related mathematical concepts in digital design. 3 Digital Architectural Design as Exploration of Computable Functions

Imagination and its relation to creativity are among the most important issues related to the design category in various areas of architectural inquiry such as architectural design, whose function and role have changed in recent decades due to use and application of computers in the architectural design processes. Given all the changes occurred in the meaning and concept of architecture, by the...
متن کاملThe impact of digital architecture on cityscape
Abstract Digital architecture, as a proceeding architectural style, has caused fundamental evolutions in architectural design and building appearance via applying complex geometries and topologies. Computers and digital tools have truly altered the design process and architectural conception facilitating production of new eye catching forms. Avant-garde architectural forms have emerged from the...
متن کاملCurrent Discussions on Digital Sketching in the Early Stages of Architectural Design in Education
In the architectural design, designers are focused on the early stages of the design process or conceptual design. The ultimate goal of this stage is to find a solution for an existing problem, investigate design space, or explore an idea. This stage conventionally begins with sketches and diagrams to explore ideas and solutions; the ambiguity and vagueness of conventional freehand sketching ca...

This work extends an earlier manual design space exploration of our developed Selective Load Value Prediction based superscalar architecture to the L2 unified cache. After that we perform an automatic design space exploration using a special developed software tool by varying several architectural parameters. Our goal is to find optimal configurations in terms of CPI (Cycles per Instruction) an...
متن کاملPredicting the Future from Past Experience A Reflection on the Fundamentals of CAAD
Tomorrow’s architectural practitioners seemingly need to gain an overview of, if not master, a wide range of computer aided architectural design applications, from image making to Building Information Modelling (BIM) to digital fabrication. However, we are sceptical whether there is wide recognition that there is value in a broader appreciation of the underlying principles that organize these a...
