Architecture As a Discourse

Case for innovation

Architecture as a Sign

Architecture As a sign Architecture ought to be

seen as discourse due to it is a field which is better regarded as a practices and debates about the built environment.

Making dialogue between the

UK and China through underneath the folded landscape are exhibition spaces showing how Cities and nature come together in the UK.

Computing in architecture

Computers, by

their nature, are superb analytical engines. They are efficient at information gathering and solving design problem.

CD/ITKE RESEARCH PAVILION 2011,

Computational

process innovation consists in the possibility of extending the related performance to range of geometries.

The material

(plywood) has been used for the computational test.

seroussi pavillion, Paris, 2007

Computing in architecture

Seroussi pavilion was

“grown” out of self-modifying patterns of vectors based on electro-magnetic fields (EMF).

It is a project that

embodies overlapping employment of a number of scripting cultures and design philosophies.

Within this scripting

culture, designers are dependent on an optimistic outlook on scripting as a new tool which potentials and possibilities are still being investigated and discovered.

Parametric modelling

The use of vegetation works together with

the parametric design functioned as ornamentation to the building. Parametric design here creates a dynamic surface instead of a flat façade.

The above variational exploration is an example of a search process

known as a depth first method which is relative to the exploration of a candidate solution to its logical conclusion. Our groups design intent is focused on natural occurrences at this stage and we are

interested in emergent forms and generative systems. Hence, in regards to the EOI, it is important to understand that the search

process for the Gateway Project for Wyndham city can produce more optimal outcomes and design solutions. Depending on the search

method as specified by Kalay’s reading it is apparent that computational design has much more innovative and possible candidate

solutions for consideration.

The design of

space is conceptualized around the division, on the z axis, between the ceiling and the ground. To that end, they developed a striated wood-slatted system.
