Feedback on the Design Processes for the Materialization of Informed Architectures
The analysis of case studies and applied research leads to the definition of a design methodology for computing and fabricating informed architectures, stimulating a critical reflection on the possibility of introducing the technological systems proposed in architectural practice, explaining the level of applicability of the same and identifying the main critical aspects of the processes. Such procedures are the necessary basis for delineating innovative pathways for future studies. In order to state that technology is the answer to problems related to design processes, citing the words of Cedric Price in 1966 (“Technology is the answer but what was the question?” Cedric Price, 1966), it is essential to first define the matter in a clear way, to ensure that the contribution is not compromised, losing its relevance, due to a generalist thought that sees the use of emerging technologies as a solution to all critical design issues. Once the methodology that sets a design and construction operation paradigm shift has been defined, the next step of the research concerns the concrete possibility of a technological transfer from the academic world to the actors involved in the design and production process, including the industries in the sector. The following questions may arise. Among the technological networks studied, which ones can be introduced in architectural-executive practice? What are the critical issues that prevent a concrete application outside the experimental field of academic research?
