Post Problematic Design Intelligence
The processes of professional design to build have radically changed over the course of the digital advent around the world. Many modern principals still primarily apply to contemporary ideas about architecture in practice but since 1921 work like Le Corbusier’s Vers Un Architecture has fallen in relevance with four heads parametric approaches and methodologies. Without the need for approximation facilitated by new creation platforms, digital design focus on adaptation transcending parameters and measurements. In this new order of Architecture the potential Of what can be achieved through Informed computational procedure dominates thought. Along with this the rationalization of materials utilized must also reflect current fabrication methods. Shifting attention from specifications the details of this design approach move from its feasibility into the overall accord of individual structures. The interaction, for example, between the interior of walls, supporting structures and exterior boundaries is now resolved with immediate intricacy. It’s streamlining of the design process to degree where considerations for structure are completely absolved of the architect. Feasibility however would be lost without the concurrence of a physics engine in design platforms as well as emphasis on materiality. As a post parametric practice expands into this new territory of architectural research must be focused on creating surfaces that preserve initial considerations of structural conventions that in the past have been assumed. Instead of standard repetitive design joints could be implemented in a surface based structural system critically designed around the form of an preeminent idea using computed parametric. Only in the understanding of material and freeform junctures can an architect’s awareness allow innovation in the design process and not just in the overview.
