Architecture as a Sign

Architecture ought to be seen as discourse due to it is a field which is better regarded as a practices and debates about the built environment.

HEATHERWICK STUDIO THAT ARE WORKING WITH PARAMETRIC APPLIES RESEARCH TEAM AKI/P.ART ARE AIMING TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE WITH RELATION TO BOTH ARCHITECTURE DISCOURSE AND CONTEMPORART COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN.

Making dialogue between the UK and China through underneath the folded landscape are exhibition spaces showing how Cities and nature come together in the UK.

Case for innovation Architecture As a Discourse Architecture As a sign

Architecture as a discourse create a new generation of design technology.

Computing in architecture

Architectural transfer of biological principle by means of novel computer-based design.

Computers, by their nature, are superb analytical engines. They are efficient at information gathering and solving design problem.

Parametric modelling

The use of vegetation works together with the parametric design functioned as ornamentation to the building. Parametric design here creates a dynamic surface instead of a flat faรงade.

The above variational exploration is an example of a search process known as a depth first method which is relative to the exploration of a candidate solution to its logical conclusion. Our groups design intent is focused on natural occurrences at this stage and we are interested in emergent forms and generative systems. Hence, in regards to the EOI, it is important to understand that the search process for the Gateway Project for Wyndham city can produce more optimal outcomes and design solutions. Depending on the search method as specified by Kalay’s reading it is apparent that computational design has much more innovative and possible candidate solutions for consideration.

Case study BANQ Restaurant [Office DA]

The design of space is conceptualized around the division, on the z axis, between the ceiling and the ground. To that end, they developed a striated woodslatted system.
