Architectural Design Computing

Theories and methods of integrating digital tools into the architectural curriculum cannot be conceptualized as simply the merging of computerized tools with conventional formulations of design. This paper focuses on a case study of a workshop entitled " Mission Mars 2024: A Biomimetic Structural Organism " , as part of the studio course ARCH 202 in the spring semester of 2017 at Izmir University of Economics. It explores the use of digital architectural design tools in the context of outer space architecture, and the use of biomimicry as a design approach. We encouraged students to explore various stages of Oxman's digital design ontology at the design level, and to employ various CAD/CAM tools as well as Virtual Reality (VR) and 3D representation methods. It is important to emphasise that the curriculum is a studio-based education with limited access to additional technical classes. Part of our aim was to integrate this content into the studio and allow students to explore new methods of design development. In order to free the students from conventional architectural preoccupations, we particularly chose on the surface of Mars. The paper presents a critical approach to understanding the impact of digital tools and methods on the learning outcomes of the students, which are discussed and demonstrated based on four studio outcomes.

Underwater space has been the subject of various scientific fields. In the field of architectural design, projects are generally limited to the areas of construction techniques for underwater as a civil engineering problem; underwater tourism; and underwater research. A much less researched area is ocean colonisation-permanent human settlement of oceans-and its architecture. This paper focuses on a case study of a workshop entitled " Mission Aquarius " , as part of the architectural design studio. It treats oceanography in the context of extreme environments, and explores the use of biomimicry as a design approach, and the use of geoinformatics as site selection method. We encouraged students to explore various stages of scientific knowledge at the design level, and to employ various CAD/CAM tools. It is important to emphasize that the curriculum is a studio-based architectural design education with limited access to scientific data. It is aimed to integrate geoinformatics and biomimicry into the design studio, and to allow students to explore new contexts for design.

Özet Kültürel miras çok katmanlı yapısı sebebiyle arkeologlar için olduğu denli arkeolojik sit alanlarında tasarım yapan mimarlar için de karmaşık ve zorlayıcı bir bağlamsal veridir. Bu makalede öncelikle bağlam kavramının mimarlık disiplininde nasıl anlaşılıp yorumlandığı ve 1970'lerden itibaren mimarlık kuramcıları tarafından izlenen farklı bağlamsalcı yaklaşımlar irdelenmiştir. İkinci olarak arkeolojik çevre bağlamında mimarlık üretimi yaparken izlenebilecek tasarım yaklaşımları ve stratejileri üzerine odakla-nılmıştır. Son olarak da, bir arkeolojik sit alanında yeni bir yapı tasarımının proje olarak verildiği bir mimari tasarım stüdyosunda alan çalışması uygulanmış, seçilen örnek projelerde öğrencilerin benzer ve farklı bağlamsal yaklaşımları karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışmadan yola çıkarak, hem bu farklı yaklaşım ve stratejilerin mimari tasarım sürecinde nasıl kullanıldığını araştırmak hem de bu süreçte öznel verilerle nesnel sonuçlara da ulaşılabileceğini göstermek amaçlanmıştır.

In this article, it is initially examined how the concept of context is understood and interpreted in the discipline of architecture as well as various contextual approaches followed by architectural theoreticians since the 1970s. Second, it is focused on possible design approaches and strategies to be followed while producing architecture within the context of archeological environment. Finally, a case study is applied to an architectural design studio where the students were asked to design a new building in an archeological site, and similar and different approaches of the students in selected projects are comparatively analyzed. Based on this study, it is both aimed to investigate how these different approaches and strategies are utilized during architectural design process and to show that objective results could be reached by subjective data in this process.

As with positive science studies, in space studies, there is a continuing cooperation among art and design fields. Likewise, in the Space Architecture studies, different international disciplines are combined to produce designs for exoatmospheric habitats. These design studies, which resemble science and engineering issues, require mastery of analytical thinking and computational design thinking. In addition, designers require the latest knowledge of digital design and fabrication tools to ensure that non-standard design proposals can be developed. In the increasingly important area of the design of living spaces for Mars, the focus is on design and digital fabrication technologies of present and future. For this reason, the development of designs within the scope of Space Architecture should not be considered as separate from computational design or computing technologies.
