01.1// OLD IDEAS IN NEW SKINS “...you showed us a tower where all the floors are a different shape... they are all flat, and they are all arrived to by the same straight elevator, and the same doors, repeating, floor after floor... It is a collage of Fordism with parametricism, with the old model of absolute repetition, absolutely flat… that property of flatness never never changes...
[Fig.001] Morpheus Hotel (Macau), Zaha Hadid Architects, 2018 Abstracted Structural Diagram (Section)
You are cloaking the tower differently, but the interior is the same. The skyscraper has fundamentally not changed.” - Professor Preston Scott Cohen

01// A BRIEF CRITIQUE OF CURRENT COMPUTATIONAL ARCHITECTURE PRACTICES + APPLICATION TO MASS HOUSING 01.2// OLD PRACTICES, PROCESSES
“mainstream digital architecture has not yet shifted that radically from traditional design practice... the machine has been used primarily as a drawing tool, not as a true partner in the process of conception. Of course, the tool has changed a lot of things, but it has left the core of architectural thinking still totally dependent upon the designer’s intuition.”
[Fig.005] Guggenheim Bilbao (Spain), Frank Gehry 1997
- Professor Antoine Picon
In Digital Culture in Architecture, 2010, p.62

01// A BRIEF CRITIQUE OF CURRENT COMPUTATIONAL ARCHITECTURE PRACTICES + APPLICATION TO MASS HOUSING 01.3// EXPENSIVE SHAPES: THE PROBLEM OF AFFORDABILITY
The disadvantage of an obsession with the deformation of shapes, as afforded by new digital tools, often results in expensive, oneoff construction projects, comissioned by wealthy patrons and inaccessible for the masses. - In SPACE10. “The Digital in Architecture: Then, Now and in the Future

- In SPACE10. “The Digital in Architecture: Then, Now and in the Future
From the 1970s to the 2000s, HDB flat
designs have fundamentally not changed. Each unit is sold as-is, with little input from the user as to how space can be organised differently within.

01.4.A// OPEN BUILDING APPROACH
Frei Otto - Okohaus
How do we design the Structure/Support? Most examples here fall back to modernist Dom-ino form, in a process that is fundamentally the same. Language of homogenity for a heterogenous use case...
Freedom for inhabitation limited by how Structure/ Support is designed
How do we inhabit it? Analog processes - A lot of coordination needed

[Fig.022] Model of Le Corbusier’s Plan Voisin
[Fig.023] Toa Payoh Neighbourhood under construction Tabula Rasa in action
[Fig.024] Ian McHarg’s proposal of inhabiting space depending on the spatial qualities and natural processes in the landscape - a more contextually sensitive approach than tabula rasa.
02// TOWARDS A TOPOLOGICAL SPACE FOR THE MASSES: LANGUAGE, PROCESS, INHABITATION 02.2// REFRESHING THE SPATIAL LOGIC 02.2.D// HEURISTIC #4 VOLUMETRIC DISCRETISATION
[Fig.025] A series of identical modules form the space of Sou Fujimoto’s Serpentine pavilion.
[Fig.026] Repetitive modules like this steel cross module make up the pavilion, an example of massproducible discrete objects assembling to form a greater, complex whole.
02// TOWARDS A TOPOLOGICAL SPACE FOR THE MASSES: LANGUAGE, PROCESS, INHABITATION 02.3// ALGORITHMNS AND ARCHITECTURE 02.3.A// REVISITING THE OBJECTILE AND PATTERN LANGUAGE
[Fig.027] Works from Bernard Cache’s Studio - Objectile - new technical object of the digital age. No longer static, but a mathematical algorithm capable of many shapes but maintaining the same formal structure.
[Fig.028] Gregg Lynn’s embryological houses plays on the same concepts as per the Objectile. At the same time, curvilinear forms dominate...
[Fig.029] An excerpt from Christopher Alexander’s Notes on the Synthesis of Form, describing the act of form-making as the action of interlinked subsystems. Similar to the conceptualisation of Objectiles and their implementation.
02// TOWARDS A TOPOLOGICAL SPACE FOR THE MASSES: LANGUAGE, PROCESS, INHABITATION 02.4// DEMOCRATIC INHABITATION STRATEGIES 02.4.A// OPEN BUILDINGS: “SUPPORT” & “INFILL” + “LEVELS”
[Fig.030] Open Building, John Habraken, 1961 - “Support” & “Infill” + “Levels”, ideas for the creation of space and systems that afford more democratic control over our built environment
[Fig.031] NEXT21 skeleton with risers in green and corridor conduits in pink. Blue elements represent structural columns.
[Fig.032] Example of how the service conduits allow for the shifting of serviced rooms in the unit. Cores highlighted in green, service conduits in dark red, and interior service lines in bright red.

We can share part of the cost of that extension with you if you let us use the roof as a terrace.

Sure! You could pay for the top surface and whatever waterproofing is needed. We might also need rainwater drainage���
