Systems of Design, Computation& Fabrication
Create a build-able system
Design System – Construction System
Why are design systems important?
Work Flow
Design is process of explorations(Multiple Representations)Can be a Computational ProgramParametric ModelingGenerative AlgorithmsShape Grammars
Can systematic a approach be used in design?
Designers create representations of an ideaone idea at a time with slight differences between
systems?
Each statement leads to another statement or will eachstatement lead to a conclusion in the design process?
Pre RationalNorman Foster
Andrea Palladio
A pre-rational system in design is a design system mapped to a shape or an organized plan.
Post Rational
Gehry
Gaudi
A post rational system is a shape that has beenchopped into build-able sections. Each sectionis its own element in a larger whole.
