Bernard Cache’s, ‘Towards an Associative Architecture’, explores the ideas of architecture being digitized and how ‘associative architecture’ is an advantageous concept in the wide scope of things. Associative architecture is the idea of relationship between a design and its components, similar to parametricism, allowing the form to easily be altered. Cache discusses the ‘Semper Pavilion’ project in detail to describe how the major components were linked to smaller ones, allowing minor and major adjustments to automatically be made when a major component would be moved. This concept allowed design experimentation to be easily conducted, leading to this type of design method to spread across architects that were in the technological loop.
‘The Architecture of Facebook’ analyses the concept of open source methods, allowing people to share unique designs on ‘warehouse’ websites such as, sketchup warehouse, deviantart and many more. This also applies to programs and operating systems such as Linux, Blender and VLC Media Player. Facebook encourages this kind of behaviour, allowing people to share their experiences and get feedback on things they share. A news feed allows people to view what their friends are viewing, creating a chain, and allowing things to spread online at rapid speeds. This concept allows designs to be changed or altered, giving a wide range of options to people and improving architectural design as a whole.
