Computational Architecture

These days, nearly every architect uses a computer. Whether it’s for 3D modeling, documentation or even creating a program spreadsheet, computers are well entrenched within the profession. Architects now need to know almost as much about software as they do about structures, building codes, and design.The use of computational processes in architecture is a widespread practice which draws on a set of theories of computer science developed in the 60s and 70s.

What exactly is computation design? Computational design is the application of computational strategies to the design process. While designers traditionally rely on intuition and experience to solve design problems, computational design aims to enhance that process by encoding design decisions using a computer language. The goal isn’t to document the final result necessarily, but rather the steps required to create that result.

Computer architectures aren’t laws of physics. They’re man-made inventions designed to harness raw resources, such as billions of transistors, for a range of useful computational tasks.When our computing needs and tasks change—as they inevitably will over the decades—it becomes increasingly awkward to express programs through the original architecture.

The architecture evolved slightly over time but remained fundamentally the same.

The vast majority of computing devices today are connected to the Internet, making them vulnerable to remote attack. Our data centers demand the type of strong security—including isolation and tracking of data—that classic architectures were never designed to support

By using a computational design process, you are encoding the design. Each step requires specific parameters. By thinking through through all the steps of the design problem and considers all the inputs and outputs, you effectively create a process that can be understood and repeated.

 The moving element helps in transportation. It takes people go directly to the library/computer lab. It doesn’t disturb the privacy of other spaces. It lets those people who are not a part of the school access to the library. The theory is allocation of spaces for convenience.

The moving element is mostly for the staff. It lets them transport from the common area to the meeting room for staff members. It saves time and effort. It goes with the theory of allocation of spaces for convince. It slides through the roof.

FINAL SUBMISSION

Experiment 2 : The Space Between

Architectural Issue: A Light Rail Stop

Site: ANZAC Parade at UNSW Australia

Clients: Peter Eisenman and Aldo Van Eyck

18 Axonometric

• 5 prisms used to make a amalgamation. The Architect and the concept used to built the amalgamation is written under the amalgamation.  

• Interconnection between two pairs of drawing. 

• 
  

Chosen amalgamations:

Concept 1

Opposition of Heavy and Light

This concept was inspired by the architect, Aldo Van Eyck. In the buildings he designed we can see a balance between the use of heavy and light objects and their intersection.Even though objects kept aside look pretty plain, but when combined, a new space is created. That Concept is been used in my design

Concept 2

Order and Disorder

This concept was inspired by Peter Eisenman. The making and breaking of grids can be seen in his designs. His design seen in Bird's Eye View can be seen as a simple grid; but is curvilinear when seen in elevation. This shows that when given Depth to grids, different spaces are created. Disorder within Order is noticed. This concept is been adopted in my design.

Theme

Creating Compact But Functional Spaces

The population of the earth is increasing by per minute. The work of an architect is to make use of a space in the most efficient manner in an inexpensive way. Combining the Two Concepts, we get a building which is functional for a rail stop. The Heavy and light objects make the main building plus gives a sense of direction. The second concept is order and disorder; the object in this concept is used as a shelter for the rail stop. It gives order to all the parts of the building.The use of repetition and skinning of an object is also seen.The Light Rail stop designed in a compact manner.

Electroliquid Aggregation 

“Why still speak of the real and the virtual, the material and immaterial? Here these categories are not in opposition, or in some metaphysical disagreement, but more in an electroliquid aggregation, enforcing each other, as in a two part adhesive.”

36 Textures: From Dark to Light

Chosen Textures:

Dark Texture

 This texture gives a wooden apeal.
It is used on the stairs.

Medium Texture                          The texture is used as a tile on the floor of the rail stop

Light Texture                            This texture is used on the walls.It gives a very compact rock feel.

Pictures

The Rail stop is Compact but allows all the other activities around it happen without any disruption.The functionality of the stop doesn't cause harm to its external environment. 

In this image we can see that the light Objects, give a sense of space and direction. It tells us from what direction the light rail will come/go.

It is accessible. As its situated where the two roads divide, its easy for people on both sides to access the light rail stop. It doesn't disrupt the traffic.
