WK5: Project Two - Six Sources

Design Sources –

1. Wigley, Mark 1991, ‘Prosthetic Theory: The Disciplining of Architecture’, Assemblage, no. 15, pp. 6-29.

Prosthetic Theory: The Disciplining of Architecture is a paper which discusses the historical origin of the architectural prosthetics, a notion considering the relationship which exists between human form and architecture. Further the relative conceptual notions which outline its implementation within the modern architectural discourse.

2. Kerr, Heather 2001, ‘Prosthetic Architectures’, Journal of Media and AMP, vol. 15, no. 1, pp. 97-102.

Prosthetic Architectures, presents the architectural notion of a relationship which exists between human form and architecture itself. However this paper presents such in a more conceptual state, considering ideas regarding the perceived interpretation of such a notion for example.

3. Weinstock, Michael & Stathopoulos Nikolaos, ‘Advanced Simulation in Design’, pp. 54-59.

Advance Simulation in Design, is a paper which outlines the practice and significance of simulations within the design process, however through a mathematical and algorithmic approach. An approach considering simulations which through such an approach analyses variables previously not considered.

Experimental Sources –

1. Coorey, Ben 2010, ‘Scalability: Parametric Studies from Exoskeletons to the City’, University of Technology, pp. 155-163.

Scalability: Parametric Studies from Exoskeletons to the City outlines through a philosophical, mathematical and computational background the interconnection between architectural design, multiplicities and their relation to dynamic theories.

2. Katz, Neil, ‘Algorithmic Modeling; Parametric Thinking: Computational Solutions to Design Problems’, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, pp. 19-35.

Algorithmic Modelling; Parametric Thinking: Computational Solutions to Design Problems presents computational design techniques used within the design process, utilising parametric design methods including rule and variable incorporation.

3. Baerlecken, Daniel., Manegold, Martin., Kuenstler, Arne & Reitz, Judith 2010, ‘Integrative Parametric Form Finding Processes’, Imagine Structure, pp. 303-312.

Integrative Parametric Form Finding Processes is a study which considers recent developments within digital technology and contemporary design tools, thus parametrics and multiple geometrical simulations. Furthermore this paper examines a form finding approach based on aesthetically defined parameters as well as other internal and external parameters such as structure.
