RANDOMIZING ARCHITECTURE

As architects have become more eloquent in exploration of calculating capabilities of computers, contemporary architectural practice seems to have set its mind on creating a logic machine that designs from predetermined constraints. The common architectural computer based models are either pre-rational or post-rational.

The hypothesis is that the early design process is in need of the unexpected, rather than iron logic. Uncertainty or unpredictability as a part of process can be seen in the work of Jackson Pollock. The very same principle is used to create architecture from intensions rather than expectations.

The process starts with the use of particles in Autodesk 3ds max, animating them to free flow giving an initial route, the random path they take based on the laws of collision in physics, generates vectors. 
These vectors lofted in Rhinoceros 3d gives the initial form. Layers of program, site, function and structure overlapped with the form gives us the final product.
