Abstraction Language: Digital/ Analog Dialogues (2009)
article⁄Abstraction Language: Digital/ Analog Dialogues (2009)
abstract⁄The connection between biological systems and machines is quickly becoming an important factor in designing the built environment. This paper explores the model of abstraction languages as a method to create communications between biological and mechanical systems, focusing on modes accessible to design professionals. The development of data and control abstraction in programming is explored in order to develop linkages between physical systems and digital interfaces. This examination looks at current methods of data conveyance for the built environment, and at pushing beyond these current methods to suggest a method of abstraction. The researchers are particularly interested in the ability of abstraction to compress ecologicalbiological complexity into accessible modules for responsive environments.
