Eine Plattform für die Wissenschaft: Bauingenieurwesen, Architektur und Urbanistik
Over the past 10 to 15 years, ornament or rather ornamental practice has made a spectacular return in architecture. This return has taken diverse forms. This diversity has made the return of ornament even more striking. Its importance for the architectural discipline has been generally acknowledged by theorists and practitioners. This chapter highlights the novelty and radical character of this revival by explaining how modern architecture had been suspicious of ornament almost from the start. The widespread return of ornament that can be observed today is actually inseparable from the massive diffusion of the computer in the architectural profession that had started by the mid‐1990s. Under the influence of digital tools, today's ornament indeed presents a series of new features. The current architectural discourse on the importance of affects is rooted in Gilles Deleuze's philosophy.
