Shift+Design: Scripts and other Design Artifacts
Beyond the debate about the possible advantages of the automation of time-consuming drafting tasks, or of the expressive qualities that emerge from the use of scripts in architectural design, this article posits the idea that scripts constitute a new kind of “design artifact”, reconfiguring a designer's engagement with a design problem. By examining how scripts destabilize dominant conceptions of architectural representations as figural descriptions the article delineates the ongoing emergence of a performative and computational epistemology of architectural design.
