Responsive Architecture: Generative Systems : A Paradigm for Modelling Complex Adaptive Architecture

A guest post on Complexitys by Fran Castillo

Algorithm as a Model. Closed System VS Open System.

In contrast to the field of architecture and engineering, where the concept of ‘model’ is understood to be a geometric description of objects or (‘Static Models…

responsivesarchitectures: Title: Responsive Parametric Infrastructure Category: #realtimecity #responsiveenvironments Author: Hugh Dutton, Gaetan Kohler, Sebastien Perrault, Francesco CingolaniYear: 2011Url: http://complexitys.com/english/2960/Description: A sustainable city is one where all the citizens share a global and collective responsibility towards their environment. A Smart City needs to provide means of awareness of every individual of the community of what the impact of their own piece of the city has on the environment, in the way they live work and play. The citizens need to have their needs and desires addressed to create their own quality environment. It is a question of Information. Information of the performance of the environment and information of the citizens requirements.A sense of community provides social cohesion and a feeling of belonging. Each individual cares about his own world and can share together to build a quality environment.Smartphones and personal computers provide a means for every citizen to interact and record their needs and desires and to participate in democratic improvement of the environment.Today’s ICT tools are developing to become more and more capable of collecting and processing the complex mass of information that is involved. Data on consumption and emissions can be collected. Parametric optimization processes are capable of planning urban systems such as transport, energy, communication and space management in response to specific local environmental constraints to design the future city in response to each citizen’s needs and desires.The proposal involves the creation of a system of data collection and interactive parametric processing based on a series of community nodes. The specific environment of each community is recorded and communicated through information screens in a central agora.- A complex model of the physical area is created.- The built context and environment is simulated.- Energy performance data is collected and communicated.- citizens interact and participate in the development if their community, their quarter, their city..Iconic presentation screens, and signals in each community tell the story of each one, creating awareness and showing the process of interactive communication.
