Digitalization has transformed the discourse of architecture: that
discourse is now defined by a wealth of new terms and concepts that
previously either had no meaning, or had different meanings, in the
context of architectural theory and design. Its concepts and
strategies are increasingly shaped by influences emerging at the
intersection with scientific and cultural notions from modern
information technology. The new series Context Architecture seeks
to take a critical selection of concepts that play a vital role in
the current discourse and put them up for discussion.
In the context of discussions of the medial, the notion of
simulation plays a central role in architecture as illusion and
imitation. In dialogue with information technology and computer
science, however, that notion has now taken on a new quality in
architectural discourse. Today when we speak of simulation we
primarily think of "computer simulation," the technical ability to
simulate processes.
Whereas simulation used to refer to a mode of presentation, it
now connects architecture with the sciences and represents a
strategic and methodological instrument, a tool of discovery. With
the scientific principle of simulation the focus shifts to the idea
of "modeling a dynamic system" (Norbert Wiener), not just
presenting finished products but going in search of solutions and
developing systems!
