1. PROCESS OF DESIGN:
AGGREGATE
2. FRAMEWORK FOR DESIGN:
IN CK PA
Entropy is inherent in our urban and ecological systems, our futures are dynamic and indeterminate. Here, we discover a correlation between entropy and health. Design strategies and architectures overlook entropy, often operating under the contrived notion of static outcomes and complete control of systems. In contrast, DIG STUDIO asserts that instead of fighting entropy, it is in fact advantageous to engage entropy as a systemic approach to making healthier spaces. We understand that designs can be insufficient, that they can falter, or even fail; we are designing for that potential failure. These insufficiencies and failures are opportunities for ecological and social health.
G
> to address site complexity (embracing entropy)
{ the how } establishing a new methodology Entropy as design tactic is not just an exploration, but rather a critical & philisophical stance: a way to move toward healthier spaces. //Stigmergy* [aka Self Organizing Systems] Stigmergy is thought by many to be the principal mechanism whereby complex and coherent structures can arise “from the bottom up”, that is, through self-organized behavior of multitudinous agents that themselves have no conception of what they are building. As such, stigmergy is one of the foundation stones for an atomist philosophy of biology: all the complex and wonderful contrivances of the living world are explainable by the low-level interaction of “atoms”, autonomous and indivisible units that interact according to a discernible and limited set of rules. —Professor Scott Turner, Syracuse University
//Variable, Nonlinear Design Tactics
Explanation of the proposed methodology
{ gameboard } the new methodology
BRACE [THE GAMEBOARD]
1. Overlay the gameboard 2. Examine script archive & in process scripts & scores 3. Write scripts > individual scripts are initally written based on chemical plumes present in the river, in sediment/soil, & in groundwater (hotpots) 4. Run script(s) > programming and spatial form arise from scripting tactics when compounded along a time axis
HOTSPOT: GAME BEGINS HERE
scoring scripts script [noun] 1. the dialogue and instructions for a play, musical or other performance work 2. a program or sequence of instructions that is interpreted and carried out 3. to scratch an outline, sketch, from base *sker- cut, incise “A special looking glass into the labyrinths of potential space.”
