Architectural Design and Digital Paradigm: from Renaissance Models to Digital Architecture (2003)
article⁄Architectural Design and Digital Paradigm: from Renaissance Models to Digital Architecture (2003)
abstract⁄Means of expression have always affected our ways of thinking. Designers, who have to interpret signs, languages, and evolution in order to translate into an organised ‘form’ the recurring problems and values of mankind, have left thoughts, projects and wishes to the study of representational techniques. In this way, they have also disclosed a unique view of reality and at the same time a ‘way of being’ towards the meaning of design itself. In the relationship between architecture and representational techniques, Brunelleschi said that ‘perspicere’ was no longer just the science of optics, but also the science that contained the lines of research on geometry and shape that he was the first to exploit in design. Centuries later, in the axonometric representation advocated by De Stijl and intended for factories and industries, the object, shown in all its parts, easy to reconstruct even in the space to which it referred, revealed with extreme clarity the massproduction building and assembly materials and systems. Digital representational media make a great entrance in the heuristic process, invalidate all signs, and promote its quality. The result is an everchanging, computerised architecture, dominated by curvilinear, wavy shapes that flow from a generative process made of the deformations, additions, and interference of different volumes.
