This book proposes a system structure in architectural design that
conceptualises a systemic level in architecture and construction
that lies between general construction techniques and specific
architectural results. In order to make such a system structure
operational, the elaboration of a model seeks on the one hand to
analytically grasp and on the other hand to make it possible to
actively work with system structures as part of architectural
design. Kasper Sanchez Vibaek's ambition is to bridge an apparent
and increasing gap between architectural ideation and the way these
ideas are brought to life as real physical manifestations of our
built environment. In line with the so-called systems sciences the
book rejects the prevalent scientific view that the degree of
detail 'automatically' enhances understanding and explanative power
of complex phenomena. It establishes the idea of a systems view on
buildings and architectural design that through the use of flexible
constituent elements facilitates discussion and decision making
about how architectural wholes are appropriately put together as
assemblages of what the current and future building industry is
capable of producing. Based on several years of detailed research
into the architectural consequences of construction when exposed to
industrialised production techniques and systems, Architectural
System Structures represents a new way to look at what is already
there and is useful for all those interested in the processes of
architectural creation and realisation specifically attached to
time, place and cultural context.
