Geometry and form II

Space is defined as complex system made up of individual characteristic points, nodes of an event, named architectural form. We define space as open and closed fields of pattern and language. In 300BC mathematics were discovered by Aristotle, geometry by Euclid. Since then geometry has been subjected to space, form, perception and social patterns. When Descartes discovered the coordinate system …

Digital library – CITC_VII

DIGITAL LIBRARY ‘Codes in the Clouds’ is a research by design studio. Research by design in general and in particular means that we predominantly test how architectural structures can learn and be influenced by scientific and natural findings in the combination of geometry, material behavior and structure. The studio is concerned with the exploration of computation to provoke an architectural …

Grammar code computation

Lecture at “1996 ACM Conference on Object-Oriented Programs, Systems, Languages and Applications (OOPSLA)” Within the last decades architecture has become increasingly subjected to computation supported by digital means. The ‘object d’architecture’ has been replaced with the ‘object d’information’. In 1917 D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson stated in his treatise that living things and physical phenomena take their form as a result of …
