Abstract: Current architectural design logic is based heavily on Additive Logic, a norm where data--or information input from all parties involved in an architectural design project--is layered on top of each other to form a final solution. Often some information disappear into thin air, misinterpreted, or worst, distorted. Importantly, in our current, digitalising world, formulating an all-rounded solution is increasingly challenging to architects.
The talk aims to introduce Associative Logic to a wider audience, in particular to those who are in their initial years of architecture.
Thinking with Associative Logic is not new. In fact it started, to a certain extent, at the time of Antonio Gaudi, where information that forms an architectural design interconnect with and inter-influenced each other as if by a certain “force”. It became popular in modern time where pioneers in the West like Peter Eisenman and Luigi Moretti started to work extensively with this logic. Relevancy increased over the decades when people like Moretti, Zaha Hadid, Peter Schumacher and many more outstanding architects began to put Parametric Architecture onto the world architecture stage.
The speaker, Ngeng Dong Haur, graduated from DIA, Anhalt University of Applied Science, Germany and has worked extensively with parametric design tools. He will explain the Associative logic which inspired the creation of such design tools through his professional experience in Cologne, Munich and Dessau, Germany.
The aim is to introduce an alternative logic of thinking about design process in our increasingly dense, Asian, built environment, where architectural design with data is becoming increasingly relevant.
