So Digital, It's Analogue
This chapter discusses how the hybrid design team of architects and engineers have explored several families of analytically defined surfaces, reminiscent of flowing waves and aperiodic sinusoidal functions, before deciding to focus on an ‘asymmetrical weave’ concept. Constructability concepts were developed in parallel, adding to the growing repertoire of subdivision algorithms, and generating several sets of detailing options that would allow for cheaper, planar panes of glass that could be used to approximate the form within a reasonable deviation of the mathematical surface. Digital computation mitigates a portion of the professional rift by powering faster cycles of design, analysis and what‐if scenarios. Solid models are increasingly common in architecture, highlighting a positive trend for the industry. The chapter asserts that articulating details at the micro‐architectural scale would prove a formidable intellectual and computational challenge, compounded by the complexity of organic morphology observed in generative design.
