Digital Architecture Research Paper

Introduction

Digital design has passed through a remarkable period of rapid evolution and practical exploration. Many opinions made when digital media and architecture are brought into discussion. Most are intrigued, others insulted and some enlighten after leaning of the possibilities and its importance. Digital architecture has become a common stereotype, we are losing the nature and ideas behind traditional hand drawings and meticulous crafted models. We have gone for the fastest and cheapest way to design. In this paper, I disagree with this notion. Digital architecture has become a means to explore endless possibilities that truly allow us to conceive our imaginations in a semi physical form. Tradistionally, doing so would have need an immense amount of work if at all even possible. Antonie Picon, disputes.

“At this stage of digitalization of design may very well appear as a mere technological advance, a supplementary power offered to the designer, a power that does not affect the nature of its production. Digitalization does allow architects to manipulate extremely

The initial results feels lacking, as though you have forgotten everything you’ve learned in the past years. But as with anything we do, practice makes better and the craft that was lacking will begin to digitalize. To demonstrate this, refer to Figure 1, this image is the one of my digital project i developed. The elements presented in the physical conceptual model (Fig. 2) are far more interesting that the digital result. This is a prime example of the hurdle one must overcome when converting from a physical understanding to a digital interface. There is an fixed condition within the physical emphasis which enables the mind to visualize a personal experience of what things may be; the digital representation is too solidified in this and as a result will limit the mind to
