This paper proposes a design framework of Generative Folding as way to generate continuous connection between architectural elements and events. It argues that has the potential reveal complexity context while also continuously connecting them through proliferative digital tools. The discussion is based on Deleuze’s idea Fold (1991) Eisenman’s logic Object-Event (1993). folding alteration produ...

Abstract All buildings move under the effect of physical forces earth. It is unperceivable, but they move. Some them are also designed to perform their functions. However, most look absolutely still. Nevertheless, architects, critics, and historians architecture often borrowed terms from scientific disciplines describe a building or parts it as if actually moving. Since antiquity, artistic lite...

We present an interactive system called ArchiDNA for creating 2D and 3D conceptual drawings in architectural design. We developed a novel principle of shape generation called match-and-attach by analyzing drawing styles of a contemporary architect, Peter Eisenman. The process consists of user interaction techniques and a set of rules that decide how one ormore shapes attach to another shape. On...

This paper describes the results of the first computational investigation of characteristic visual complexity in the architecture of Peter Eisenman. The research uses a variation of the “box-counting” approach to determining a quantitative value of the formal complexity present in five of Eisenman’s early domestic works (Houses I, II, III, IV and VI all of which were completed between 1968 and ...

In this paper, an exchange of letters between the philosopher Jacques Derrida and architect Peter Eisenman is used as a catalyst to discuss the material qualities of glass and its relationship with the concept of transparency in architecture. In his criticism of an architecture devoid of human qualities, Derrida uses glass, defined through Walter Benjamin’s writings, as a hard and cold material...

El proyecto para el Biocentro de la Universidad Frankfurt constituye uno los proyectos más relevantes arquitectura contemporánea. Tomado como referente por muchos investigadores talla Charles Jencks o Greg Lynn, algunos lo consideran una prueba tangible del nacimiento un nuevo paradigma dentro arquitectura. Un que, aunque no construido, ha originado cantidad proporcional tanto defensores detrac...

This paper proposes reflection on the model’s place in definition of architect’s thought. The representation – and, accordingly, model, too is assumed as an instance where design thought becomes comprehensible, and not just something else that can be communicated. generative condition model assumed, decisive for this recognition radical distinction will always exist between its object. Both app...
