The process of coding is a systematic experimentation with signs,
symbols, and the construction of larger cultural meanings. The
fourth volume in the series Kontext Architektur examines the
architectural-historical and -theoretical relevance of the concept
of "code" from various perspectives. The authors and editors start
from the premise that this concept makes for new ways of
translating architecture into language. Thus, the dominance of
computer simulation makes it clear that the building is no longer
merely a vehicle for signs, but literally also their product. The
code has penetrated, as it were, from the exterior of the building
into its interior, into its structure. We are dealing with both a
socio-cultural as well as with a mathematical and formal notion of
code. The goal of this book is thus to arrive at a critical grasp
of the contours of this vibrant conceptual tension between the
cultural and the formal, the "outside" and the "inside," while also
formulating questions for further exploration that are relevant for
architecture.
