October 2005: George Katodrytis made a presentation during the ACADIA 05 Smart Architecture Conference in Savannah, Georgia, USA
“Through this highly refined algorithmic process, both intuitive and logical form-making processes are necessary. A grid-like structure transforms gradually into a convoluted scheme with numerous overlapping coils or folds revealing complex patterns. As the new architectural forms become complex, interconnected nodes and parameters change and, in a chain reaction, affect the outcome. Algorithms offer a degree of rationality therefore allow the designer to become a free form maker.
The new digital approach to architectural design is based on computational concepts such as topological space, isomorphic surfaces and parametric design. Architecture is recasting itself, becoming – in part – an experimental investigation of topological geometries. Digital media is employed not as a representational tool for visualization, but as a generative tool for the derivation of form and its transformation – the digital morphogenesis. It explores the possibilities of “finding form”. Topological space opens up a universe where essentially curvilinear forms are not stable but may undergo variations, giving rise to new possibilities, i.e., the emergent form.”
