This chapter by Tierney Therese addresses the use of digital design as a tool to be used in architecture and explores its applications and limits. The importance of relying on algorithms to create a coherent digital design morphology in a scheme is emphasized. Digital design is not merely another way to draw lines, but a platform for generating iterations of a scheme until a final iteration is reached. With its significant advantages in the practice of architecture, digital tools will pave the way for the future of the industry.
Another major factor is temporality, and understanding architecture not only as static instances of time in a spectrum, but as an endless duration that is constantly moving. This is one aspect of design that has evolved recently, and turned the process into a much more intelligent one than what it was in the past. Design now requires research and collaboration.
Increasingly architecture is not exclusively perceived as working with static objects. Any object changes over time, and only appear in stasis due to the restricted time frame they are perceived in. Acknowledging change is a key concept in design now, and digital design methods facilitate this goal.
The difficulty of these principles is putting them into practice. Change can naturally occur within the design process and some temporal aspect can be given to iterations of a project, but to actually make a project change and interact with its environment to a greater degree than just standard environmental shielding is difficult.
