CODE1110: Week 9 Summary

In Mario Carpo’s, ‘Introduction to Versioning’, he discusses how the term, ‘Versioning’, explores the concept of technology allowing people to showcase their unique capabilities as design software is easy to learn. He says that it is advantageous to create an “open model of practice”, meaning is used to show unique traits of a particular architect and allow them to demonstrate skill in other areas of society.
Furthermore, Carpo analyses the purpose of Versioning, where it depends structurally sound geometry that has sturdy joints that are not easily affected by external forces. He explains how he believes that technology has ultimately benefited architectural design and deepening its complexity.

Moreover, Frederic’s text, ‘In the Order of the Non-Standard’, his theories and concepts are related to the mathematical and algorithmic methods of Alan Badiou and Gilles Deleuze. He analyses the merging of engineering and architectural design software have allowed complex designs to be practical with computed calculations to show people that a certain structure is physically possible.

Both Carpo and Frederic question the true definition of unique architecture and how people use mathematical theories combined with design software to think of new ways to perceive ‘modern’ structures and how to change the ‘meta’ of how a building is formed.
