Abstract

This paper mainly demonstrates that the schema is an important way for the architect to cognize architecture form logic. It connects schema to algorithm of parametric design in order to seek the “algorithm schema” generation in parametric design of architecture. Meanwhile, this paper discusses the generative process and methods of the “algorithm schema” in parametric design of architecture by describing a case of outdoor broadcasting studio of Hunan Economic Radio. It also reveals the importance of “algorithm schema” for the cognition and architectural form logic generation.

Highlights

Schema is an abstract structure extracted from cognitive experience which appears repeatedly in human life
F.C.Bartlett, a British psychologist, has officially put forward the concept of schema from the view of psychology.He argued that schema helps actively organize the past experience and affect the well adaptable organic reaction
Under the modern science environment which is dominated by Chaos theory, System theory and Control Theory, parametric design is a method that employs the powerful computing capability of computers to describe the architectural form logic

Summary

Introduction

Schema is an abstract structure extracted from cognitive experience which appears repeatedly in human life. The concept “schema” could be dated back to the ancient Greek philosopher Plato’s basic thought: the ideal is to abstract things in a general way Based on this idea, people form their cognitions about the world. “Schema is the process of conceiving the structural image based on the conception”, said by Immanuel Kant By this token, the architecture form logic generation has the same features as schema. Schema could help architects establish the relationship between visual form and elements that affect architecture form generation, such as functional logic of architecture, geographical environment, regional culture, social relations, etc In this way, schema could help architects cognize the meaning implied in architecture form logic and further improve it
