| summary |
The employment of digital tools in architecture is based on a new approach to design that acknowledges the value of research and feedback from the environment. Abstractions are a means of minimising the complexity of information that surrounds a designed object. They are seen as focused interest on certain aspects of a field that are exaggerated on the cost of others. The use of abstractions and diagrammatic representations is discussed within the context of a computerised design studio. |
