超越算法 寻求算法之外的结构设计方法

Beyond the Algorithm Seeking Differentiated Structures through Alternatives to Computational Design Processes

文章为超越算法以实现最优设计方案提供了另一条途径。马克·贝瑞通过分析建筑师安东尼·高迪的作品,为利用自然的(而不是机械的)计算方法来优化结构设计提供了依据。文章回溯了高迪的灵感来源及其回归本源的代表作品,帮助读者去了解观察自然世界的价值,并在高迪的设计方法中得到了启示,通过将观察与由直觉驱动的设计感知相结合,寻求一种超越数字算法的策略。

This paper makes a case for the extensive and fertile ground that still lies out with algorithmic design space for growing optimized design solutions. Mark Burry cites the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi as a case who provides the clues to the use of natural （rather than machinic） computational approaches to optimize structural design, By describing Gaudi＇s source of inspiration and reviewing his representative works which follow the concept ＇returning to the source＇, the intention of the paper is to help sustain the value of observation of the natural world around us and its systems seen through the eyes of Gaudi, combining observation with more intuitively driven design sensibilities thereby placing such strategies beyond exclusive acceptance of the seductive powers of the digitally engaged algorithm.
