digital information-based architectural design Explanation: My understanding of this: A fundamentally information-based approach to architectural design and building construction / civil engineering, that is, the integration of *digital* information -- not only just plain data, but also "artificial intelligence" -- into architectural design *from the outset*. Thus, the underlying ideas, construction procedures, and associated logistic information are *machine-readable* and can be executed by special machinery (construction robots, flexible manufacturing cells, etc.). In a narrower context, pre-fabricated construction components are of special interest because price differences between standard and custom-made parts are bound to vanish due to the inherent flexibility of the production facilities based on this approach. "Die digitale Fabrikation erlaubt es, am Computer beschriebene Bauteile direkt maschinell zu fertigen. Sie macht es möglich, Entwurfsinformationen in Form von Daten und Prozeduren mit der gebauten Architektur zusammenzuführen. Dadurch verändern sich die Produktionsbedingungen im Bauwesen. Wie jeder technologische Innovationsschub in der Architektur erweitert auch die digitale Revolution nicht nur das Spektrum an Möglichkeiten, sondern sie begründet durch ihre spezifischen Gesetzmässigkeiten auch ihre eigene Ästhetik. Im Rahmen der Assistenzprofessur an der ETH Zürich sollen die Möglichkeiten des direkten Ineinandergreifens von Daten und Material und die daraus entstehenden wechselseitigen Beziehungen zwischen Entwurf und Herstellungsmethoden untersucht werden. Wir definieren für diesen Prozess den Begriff der «Informierung von Architektur»." http://www.nextroom.at/publication_article.php?publication_i... |
