Digital culture in architecture
Computer-aided
design and digital simulation have led to new forms as well as to an
increasingly strategic approach to architecture and urban development. Designs
was done by preliminary sketch all the way to final rendering. The book
provides a profound introduction to the important role of digital technologies
in architectural design and related fields. The introduction mention that
Columbia university paperless studio is one of the first attempting large scale
using computers for architectural design. In 1992 electronic equipment are a
fast growing environment and that the impact been made have set to be profound,
during this period architects are becoming more interested in the principles of
parametric design. I think part of what we see today is an interpreted as a
distance result of what happened with the emergent of formation base society in
the 19th centuries. Series of changes appear as a consequence on the
rise of computers both as a machine and as vision of the world.
Picon described that computers did not make the society of
information, it is rather the evolution leading to the emergent of the society
of information that made the computers both possible and at a certain stage desirable.
Picon’s also talks about how traditional tectonic are being replaced with
ornament. Development of digital architecture is not reducible to a mere use of
new tools and architecture has not been passively subjected to a technological
innovation coming from elsewhere and digital architecture is only an aspect of
the ongoing changes.
