| Abstract |
This study seeks to integrate the principles of expression and the constructive system in the past with the technique of digital shape extraction. Then it continues to analyze cases by means of codification. The study provides objective data on organic characteristics and principles of digital architecture and its construction process based on the findings of the aforementioned processes. The scope of selection at each stage and corresponding criteria are as follows: First, the technique of shape deduction is analyzed by using the criteria digital architects have been applying in their designs since 1990 in consideration of the link such shape deduction technique has to the organic expressive principles. Second, this study draws factors of organic architecture based on its formative relationships. The identified factors are used along with the digital shape techniques to form approaches to the shape structure system. Third, techniques of obtaining shapes in the shape structure system are classified using principles of expression and formative relations in digital architecture. Fourth, the findings from the preceding process are codified into various stages in order to form a set of criteria required to analyze the principles and characteristics of digital architecture. The process of codification is where the stages of analysis are summarized, classified, and integrated. Fifth, cases are selected according to the scope which cases are determined. Cases are then run through basic analysis process to reach the final conclusion of the study by applying the criteria of analysis formed in the previous process. |
