title	The Development of ‘Agent-Based Parametric Semiology’ as Design Research Program
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-33-4400-6_14

summary	A new framework, agenda and practice is called for to address the challenges and opportunities architecture must confront in the age of our computationally empowered Post-Fordist network society. This paper introduces the research agenda of ‘agent-based parametric semiology’, and explains the necessity of introducing a new tool, agent-based life-process modelling, as part of the design process, in order to cope with the new complexity and dynamism of architecture’s social functionality. The paper reviews the development of this design research program over the last 10 years. Finally, the paper describes current efforts to move from the illustrative use of life-process modelling to a scientifically grounded quantitative analysis and generative design optimization.

title	An Architecture for Cyborg Super-Society
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-6568-7_3
source	Architectural Intelligence Selected Papers from the 1st International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2020)
summary	This paper embraces the future-open, anti-humanist sensibility of cyborgism from a societal perspective and locates the origin of the ongoing historical transformation of human identities and ways of life in the technology-induced transformation of societal communication dynamics. The evolution of language, and later of writing systems, is identified as crucial empowering engines of human productive cooperation and cultural evolution. Equally crucial for collective human selftransformation is the ever-evolving construction of artificial environments. Built environments are as much a human universal as language and all societal evolution depends on them as frames within which an increasingly complex social order can emerge and evolve. They constitute an indispensable material substrate of societal evolution. These built environments do not only function as physical ordering channels but also operate as information-rich spatio-visual languages, as a form of writing. This insight opens up the project of architectural semiology as task to radically upgrade the communicative capacity of the built environment via deliberate design efforts that understand the design of built environments primarily as the design of an eloquent text formulated by an expressive architectural language. The paper ends with a critical description of a recent academic design research project illustrating how such a semiological project can be conceived. Extrapolating from this leads the authors to speculate about a potentially far-reaching, new medium of communication and means of societal integration, facilitating a ‘cyborg super-society’.
