| Abstract |
This study attempts to find out the structure of thinking in the architectural design process through analyzing Gilles Deleuze's 'abstract machine'. For this discussion, the notion and principle of abstract machine are reinterpreted by his semantics. Consequently, it makes a potential field of meaning by the serialization of arbitrary elements and its process is regarded as abstraction. Therefore, the architectural design process can be a redefining process from the relations among architectural elements to the relations between construction and representation. It can also be classified as three levels: formal, realistic, substantial. This discourse of abstraction can not be only the theoretical analysis on the architectural design process but practical effect: negation of causality, amplification of creative thinking, formation of unified consistency. |
