Painterly Assemblies: Making Through Scavenging

This paper presents an ongoing body of work that aims to disrupt prevailing Modernist tendencies within computational design practices and digital design methodologies as well as present an alternative for archaic and highly standardized modes of sustainable design production through describing the development of a painterly attitude towards digital and material computation and its resultant workflow. This ongoing body of work looks at the radical shift from the linear in late Renaissance to the painterly in the Baroque and its potential within the context of contemporary computational design methodologies and digital fabrication. The paper presents a workflow that includes scavenging for natural material, 3D scanning, along with digital and material assembly in the form of reciprocal frame systems.
