| summary |
This paper examines the role of certain graphic
metaphors as generators of form in computer aided
design. An introduction establishes that representation
in architectural design is largely metaphorical, that
metaphor is only one among several types of rhetorical
turns, and that such turns can be of value in the design
process. The paper then describes a case study a
residential design project in which the author used a 3D
computer-based modeling program to produce a type of
strained rhetorical turn called catachresis. Through a
series of catachrestic moves, conventional
representations were made to yield unconventional
architectural meanings. Next the paper discusses
inferences from the case study regarding the play of
rhetorical turns in computer aided design. The paper
concludes with suggestions for catachrestic "wild card"
and indeterminate functions in CAD systems to keep
design processes and products open to uncertainty. |
