Picon – Introduction – Summary
In Picon’s introduction he focuses on the point that the
main question on architecture isn’t if technology should be used or not in
design, but how we should use technology to better improve the complexity of
innovative designs. However, Picon also explains how these technological
advancements in architecture cannot be separated from the changes that affect
the way we design, plan and communicate designs, as devices such as computers,
smartphones, scanners etc.
In addition, Picon addresses the fact that architects must
adapt to the current and emerging technology that is being introduced to
architectural design to be able to understand the full scope of the subject. He
confidently writes about technology being an undeniably positive impact on
architecture unlike other architects/writers who question its place in the
world of architecture.
Furthermore, Picon highlights the fact that architecture and
technology go hand in hand, where they build off each other combined with the
fact that the current generation of architects rely on technology and how this
will affect architecture as a whole in the future. Moreover, he talks about the
replacing of hardware with software to create models, infrastructure and
multiple concepts that allow the communication of ideas to be seamless and easy
to understand.
Picon’s opinion overall suggests that architecture didn’t
necessarily need this technological evolution, however it is definitely a step
in the right direction and has broadened the boundaries of architecture as a
whole.
