Informed Transformations

Abstract

Informed Transformations looks into revamp of Marconi Towers in Rotterdam in light of Information Age, as Tofflers describe it. Information processing though IT resonates with todays rhizomatic distribution of power, insfluence, data and space as well. Everchanging socio-economic context can be treated by a meta-design that binds input of designer and the user. That is achieved by two computational methods: parametric and algorithmic. The first one facilitates time-dependent geometry that takes different transformations. The second method distributes space evenly between the users, by keeping certain degree of porosity for lighting conditions and public spaces.HyperbodyArchitectureArchitecture and The Built Environmen
