Titleist Ap2 Difference

genetic algorithm (model)


Toyo Ito / Cecil Balmond, Serpentine Pavilion Gallery, 2002.


design related to the use of diagrams has always used a sequential method to set and solve specific problems, through a process that, under certain circumstances, leading to a unique solution ( linear algorithm).
The increasing complexity of the relationship between the many variables involved, coupled with the frequent indeterminacy functional design time and in the face of ever smaller, it requires an approach more open and flexible to maximize the contribution of information systems.
An interesting response to these requirements may be found in a diagrammatic procedure involving the breakdown of the project n components (functions, structures, systems ...), representing initial input. The latter are made, then, in relation to each other through an algorithm that allows the computer to develop a formalization instant architecture ( genetic algorithm) 1.
This is a heuristic method that seeks the optimal solution of the problem through the selection made in a number of possible solutions and immediately verified, resulting from even a small variation of 'input ( genetic mutation).
In this context, appears to be particularly interesting, in my view, the relationship between structural design and formal aspects of the building, referring to the possible topological changes based on algorithms of this type (see works by Toyo Ito, for example ).
The purpose of this research hypothesis is verified via examples of recent architecture, a possible "case approach" to the computer model through a diagrammatic procedure, the genetic algorithm, able to explain the "relationship between the parties" . 2

Corrections and clarifications required by the prof. Wise has already been inserted in the 10 rows of the working hypothesis, which are thus enlarged compared to the meeting of '5.8.
Regarding the need to narrow the discussion, which may be too large compared to the time constraints of the seminar, I believe we can resolve the problem by focusing on a few samples to be analyzed (eg on structural surfaces used in Some recent architectures of Ito).
