Computing in Architectural Design: A Reflective Perspective From Deadly Sins and Arguable Virtues to a New Generation of CAAD
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces a reflective perspective on the role of computing in architectural design over the generations of computer aided architectural designs. Paradigms of the design process and computational models of designing are discussed. The evolution of computer aided architectural design is investigated. Both deadly sins and arguable virtues of computing in architecture and their implications are reviewed. The paper introduces an approach for the new generations of computer aided architectural design (CAAD) that has the potential to provide a better CAAD future for architectural researchers, educators and professionals

متن کاملA New Perspective of Transforming the Use of CAAD in Designing the Built Environment
This paper introduces a new perspective of transforming the use of Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD) in designing the built environment. This perspective conceives the design process of the built environment to be an integration of technical and social processes. Virtual Design Environments (VDEs) open exciting new territory and have the potential to advantage the design of the built e...
متن کاملSeven deadly sins of environmental epidemiology and the virtues of precaution.
The potentials for error in planning, conducting, reporting, and utilizing epidemiologic results can be considered in terms of the traditional 7 deadly sins. To counter these sins, epidemiologic virtues should be inspired by the precautionary principle. The remedies emphasize acknowledgment and exploration of the impact of uncertainties, weight-of-the-evidence assessments that consider what cou...
متن کاملInteractive Form-Generation in High-Performance Architecture Theory
Architecture as a designerly way of thinking and knowing is to interact with its environment. The manuscript is to speculate “interactive form-generation” based on high-performance architecture theory, and discuss the precursors and the potentials. The research aims to explore and determine the roots, aspects of interactive architecture as a part of performance-based design in contemporary arch...
متن کاملCurrent Discussions on Digital Sketching in the Early Stages of Architectural Design in Education
In the architectural design, designers are focused on the early stages of the design process or conceptual design. The ultimate goal of this stage is to find a solution for an existing problem, investigate design space, or explore an idea. This stage conventionally begins with sketches and diagrams to explore ideas and solutions; the ambiguity and vagueness of conventional freehand sketching ca...
