| Abstract |
The scope of this study is to understand the characteristic of architectural design process with the applications of digital technology. To verify the characteristics of digital application in architecture, the study have analyzed the design methodologies of two distinctive architects-Frank Ghery and Peter Eisenman utilized new design tools after the introduction of digital technology in early 1990's. The followings are summary of the study results : 1)Frank Ghery and Peter Eisenman made a new type of formation by using digital-tools. By utilizing digital methods, two architects exuviated from conventional 2-dimensional planning to create 3-dimensional space rather engaging 3-dimensional thoughts to produce 3-dimensional structure and expel by 3-dimensional digital informations to update 2-dimensional drawings for the documentations. 2)The design process of Frank Ghery base on space-volume study with inner programs of block-model, and "Skin-In" system which works from the direction of exterior to interior. Finally, the process of work was conducted by the digital media called CATIA to digitize position of the shape appearance. 3)The digital design process of Peter Eisenman characterized by the first stage of design application and making new type of architectural paradigm. Eisenman emerge from the conventional idea and thoughts of design method to create new type of architectural form and space. Eisenman is confornted with elimination of human consciousness and conducting computer to organize itself to make unexpected patterns. Such a novel type of space is created by "phase-transformation" of digital process. |
