| summary |
More often than not, discussions taking place in specialised
conferences dealing with computers and design tend to focus
mostly on the tool itself. What the computer can do that other tools
cannot, how computers might improve design and whether a
new aesthetic would result from the computer; these are among
the most recurrent issues addressed in those forums. But, by placing the instrument at the center of the debate, we might be distorting the nature of design.
In the course KEYWORDS, carried out in the years 1992
and 1993 at the ETH Zurich, the goal was to transcend the
discourses that concentrate on the computer, integrating it in a
wider theoretical framework including principles of modern art
and architecture. This paper presents a summary of the content
and results of this course. |
