BRIEF HISTORY ON DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE THE EMERGENCE OF DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE. IN THE YEAR OF 2000, THE END OF THE 20TH CENTURY AND THE BEGINNING OF THE 21ST CENTURY, THE APPLICATIONS OF COMPUTER HAD ALREADY CHANGED THE DESIGN METHOD, ESPECIALLY THE TECHNOLOGY LIKE THE VIRTUAL REALITY, CAD/CAM TECHNOLOGY, AND INTERNET. THROUGH THE COMPUTER, MANY FAMOUS ARCHITECTS, FOR INSTANCE FRANK GEHRY AND PETER EISENMAN, HAD DESIGNED VARIOUS AMAZING SPACES. MANY OF THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS HAD BEEN REDEFINED, SUCH AS FUNCTION, FORM, VOLUME AND SPACE. THIS NEW TYPE OF ARCHITECTURE PRODUCED BY THE COMBINATION OF NEW ARCHITECTURAL EFFORTS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY IS GENERALLY CALLED DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT, THE DEBATE OF THE COMPUTERIZATION HAS BEEN SHIFTED FROM THE MORE TECHNICAL ISSUES INTO THE ISSUES RELATED TO THE DIGITALITY OF ARCHITECTURE, SUCH AS "IS THIS A TEMPORARY PHENOMENON OR A PERMANENT REVOLUTION?" "WILL THIS TOOL HURT THE ARCHITECTURE SINCE WE'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT?" "ARE WE READY FOR THE NEW REVOLUTION?" "WHAT'S DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE?" THIS COURSE EXPLORES THE DIFFERENT DIGITAL DESIGN TECHNOLOGY AND WAYS TO ACHEIVE WHAT WAS ONCE IMPOSSIBLE TO CREATE A LINKAGE BETWEEN VIRTUAL AND REALITY.
