Performance-Based Generative Design and Fabrication

Abstract:

The deterministic approach (philosophy) considers natural and civilizational phenomena (architecture) as a result of complex interactions and relations between passive and active actors. This view of architecture has a very close relation to digital methods. It has developed from automatized processes of design through parametric approach to the generative and emergent design. Architecture emerges as a non-linear interaction of endogenous and exogenous forces. It is technically impossible to predict this process (to plan or sketch it). It is, on the other hand possible to simulate it in digital as well as physical world. According to paradigm of emergent design, material and fabrication tool may be considered to be agents of the design process. A long-term goal of the research activities in the collaboration between Academy of Performing Arts, Faculty of Architecture at Slovak University of Technology and an independent platform Rese arch with the KUKA robotic arm is to create an emergent fabrication tool (process).
