Architectural complexity and contradiction: a fuzzy set-theoretic basis and viewpoint
AbstractIn this paper, the authors examine an essential problem of contemporary architecture, namely, that of complexity and contradiction. The complex and contradictory architecture considered here is that which is based on the richness and ambiguity of modern experience as well as on the perpetual imprecision and fuzziness of human experience. Such an architecture is a valid one which evokes many levels of meaning and combinations of focus, and whose space and elements become readable and workable in many ways at a single instance.The concept of a ‘fuzzy structure’ is developed for the purpose of analysis and synthesis of architectural complexities and contradictions. It is then shown in passing that, under appropriate semantics, the fuzzy algebra of Kandel and the fuzzy system of Zimmermann are ‘components’ — and hence special interpretative realizations — of the fuzzy structure.
