Embedded and Interconnected Buildings: Toward Intelligent Architecture

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Andrzej Zarzycki

As the concept of the universal machine—the computer—splits hardware (form) fromsoftware (function), so does the contemporary city separate its finely woven layersof meaning, use, and built form into quasi-autonomous strands. The meaning mayno longer be the function of the form but is instead increasingly defined by usagepatterns and contributing agents. It is culturally conditioned and crowdsourced witha quick refresh rate.
