Non-Standard Form Production Methods In Latest Architecture

Abstract

As a result of the development in information technologies, the reflections of the alternating environment that have been experienced in many disciplines such as genetics, mathematics and physics have also shown themselves in the field of architecture. Computer-aided design, production techniques, and computational design approaches in architectural design, model production processes and model products (models), technological developments, and modeling capabilities offered by digital media have changed design methods and the computer has started to play an important role in the design process. With the usage of computer technology and computational design techniques for architectural design purposes, new architectural approaches such as isomorphic architecture have emerged. In the isomorphic method in which the form breaks away from traditional architecture; non-euclidean, curvilinear, and organic forms have been able to design and apply with the possibilities of computational design by moving away from the rationality of Euclidean geometry. In isomorphic design, the classical architectural understandings such as right angles, principal geometric forms, proportion, style, type have been replaced by concepts such as the algorithm, parametric design, performance, complex geometry, the blob that are included in computer systematics, and fluent, dynamic, interactive, interface which can be carried through digital technology. Thus, the architecture has been introduced with form alternatives that are extraordinary, flexible, dynamic, challenging the boundaries, consisting of curvilinear compositions and complex geometries. The aim of this study is to discuss, the place of isomorphic parametric design in past, present, and future architecture and its sustainability and applicability by examining Isomorphic Design, one of the computational design methods, through conceptual analysis and examples. For this purpose, first, literature research was conducted and the altering of the concept of form in architecture with computational design, and the concept of isomorphic architecture with its examples were discussed. In the conclusion part, the future and sustainability of the isomorphic approach were evaluated.
