Why does the word design owe its origin to Latin and not Greek
roots? Where do the limits of the human mind lie? How does
ambiguity enter the deterministic world of computation? Who was
Parmenides and why is his philosophy still puzzling today? This
unique volume challenges the reader to tackle all these complex
questions and more. Algorithmic Architecture is not a typical
theory-based architectural book; it is not a computer programming
or language tutorial book either. It contains a series of
provocative design projects, and yet it is not just a design or
graphic art book per se. Following the tradition of architecture as
a conglomeration of various design fields - engineering, theory,
art, and recently, computation - the challenge of this book is to
present a concept that, like architecture, is a unifying theme for
many diverse disciplines. An algorithm is not only a step-by-step
problem-solving procedure, a series of lines of computer codes or a
mechanistic linguistic expression, but is also an ontological
construct with deep philosophical, social, design, and artistic
repercussions. Consequently, this book presents many, various and
often seemingly disparate points of view that lead to the
establishment of one common theme; algorithmic architecture.
