summary |
Architectural design process, heir to craftsmanship traditions, formulates making as its vehicle of analysis. This curious pedigree directs high-level thought process through the restraint of material limitations; a methodology based in respect for materials whose properties and tendencies are capable of driving outcome. In this tradition of making, design as an intellectual act is dependent on engaging active, spatiomaterial media.
Additionally, contemporary literature suggests physical materiality as an interface is uniquely suited to human intelligence, at once corporeal and intellectual. Therefore, if digital is understood as an extension of our intellectual thought process, its evolution should intertwine with the physical.
This paper reports on research examining the role of physicality as a component of digital design method. The research constructs hybrid models and physicalizations, physical makings parametrically linked to inform digital design; thereby testing the integration of physical and digital as a material-based digital making methodology.
The proposed next digital turn is a return to materiality as conduit transporting the full range of human intelligence (sensorial, intuitive, and intellectual) within digital making. Key to this methodology is designing with live, spatiomaterial media capable of reacting and providing feedback during making. The supposition contained turning towards physical-digital integrated methodology is that the wicked problems we face are best served by a design methodology accessing the full arsenal of our intelligence with media that is connected to the same multiplexity of context it seeks to remedy. |
