Klinger’s ‘Information
Exchange in Designing and Making Architecture’ deepens the relation between
technology and architecture, expressing how the two are closely related, almost
symbiotic to one another, as one grows and changes so does the other, “… some
day the one will be the expression of the other.” 1
Continuing on, it is clear that the technological change has
sparked new ideas and designs in architecture, playing a crucial role in the
future of architecture. Software further enables architects to create and develop
complex forms, expanding their repertoire of possibilities made possible.
Architects are able to further analysis, simulate and fabricate using 3d
models, containing dense amounts of information, compacted within the digital
file.
Kolarevic speaks closely as he expands upon the changes that
the digital has had on architecture, talking about ‘experimental architects’
and ‘blobby’ architecture. In the process, architects should become integrated
with said software, allowing them to become the ‘information master builders’,
allowing for emerging architects to freely express their visions and designs.
The digital information that could be used in fabrication
and construction soon eliminated the “time consuming and error-prone production
of drawings…” This information essentially, reestablishes the lost link between
architecture and construction via the means of these new digital processes.
From this, architects are able to metaphorically become the builder by
digitally producing the required information to manufacture and construct said
buildings in superior presentations than what was currently available.
