Data-driven architectural design to production and operation

Abstract

Data-driven architectural production and operation explored within Hyperbody rely heavily on system thinking implying that all parts of a system are to be understood in relation to each other. These relations are established bi-directionally so that data-driven architecture is not only produced (designed and fabricated) by digital means but also incorporates digital, sensing-actuating mechanisms that ena-ble real-time interaction between (natural or artificial) environments and users. Data-driven architectural production and operation exploit, in this context, the generative potential of process-oriented approach-es wherein interactions between (human and non-human) agents and their (virtual and physical) envi-ronments have emergent properties that enable proliferation of hybrid architectural systems and ecolo-gies.Architectural Engineering and TechnologyArchitecture and The Built Environmen
