Veličina u procesu projektovanja i realizacije u arhitekturi u nastajanju - Digital Chain pristup

Abstract

Emerging architecture, based on computational methodologies directly connected to design and realization, places new approaches in front of us and requires an examination of existing terms. One of them is the principle of the Digital Chain, established by CAAD Chair at ETHZ as an uninterruptible digital process with every step as a programmed entity connected by CAAD/CAM technology to universal interfaces. This paper investigates size in the design and realisation in emerging architecture following the principle of Digital Chain as a digital approach based on coding, manipulatively iterative, through scale and proportion, by variables. Code is connection from design to realization with complexity in its content of parameters (input) and in variations of received product (output) at one side. However, it is simple manipulation of the parameters (i.e. architectural expressions - size, scale and proportion) used and a complex combination of unique scale with different variables and direct correlations to the proportion as utilization of architectural products, such as drawings, models, prototypes or realizations. This paper considers emergence of size as a mixture of scale unification and proportion output (dimensionality) as components of code decided on the architect as fluid energy of the Digital Chain approach.
