Image-based epistemic strategies in modeling.
Entwerfen von Architektur nach der digitalen Wende
designing architecture after the digital turn
Given the existing diverse range of modeling techniques, this essay examines the epistemic role of images in design development. I argue that design images – used broadly to refer to all those image-related artifacts that act directly as proxies in the course of devising and adjusting a design: sketches, drawings, plans, diagrams, photorealistic images – make it possible to develop future artifacts and to guarantee the rightness of the emerging design knowledge. Their generative operativity facilitates a media-based reflexivity and in turn makes the images epistemically highly effective. By way of an empirical example, the essay draws on the development of a building façade by architectural firm J. Mayer H. Architects, examining the different image-based techniques used. A brief study of the forms of sketching, rendering, projecting, notating, and scaling reveals a range of image-based epistemic strategies. These strategies enable conclusions to be drawn and insights to be sought in the course of the design process. Analyzing these strategies in greater detail from an image theory perspective offers an important foundation for those sciences in which knowledge has to be generated on the basis of image-based proxies alone.
