We live in a society today where computers are utilized
daily in such ways that in the past have never done before. The computer is a
powerful tool that users can take advantage of however Kostas Tezidis , author
of ‘Algorithmic Architecture’ believes that designers do not take advantage of
the computational power of the computer. Computers have integrated into
architectural design in the early years with CAD software, graphical systems
and parametric design. All these computer aided design allows its users to
understand how systems form and how it mathematically operates. This quote illustrates
the idea of understanding their operations in architectural graphic systems. ‘With
the help of computer-aided models, the designer will be able to predict the
performance of any design alternative he may generate.’ Computation design
thinking is endless as we are forced to question how people think and how
design evolves, as Tezidis states how ‘computers must be acknowledged not only
as machines for imitating what is understood, but also as vehicles for
exploring what is not understood.’
