The advent of information technology in architecture has gradually replaced the idea of \u200b\u200bmodel as a means of testing hypotheses with a deductive approach in which computer modeling plays an active role in the genesis of the project, as is the 'process' becomes the focus of the research project.
In particular, the ability of computer models to collect and process quickly a large amount of data allows for very efficient simulations of the behavior and appearance of the building will be built once.
This kind of modeling offers, in fact, the possibility of objective data in the design process, such as geometric transformations based on mathematical calculations, structural, lighting requirements, so that they directly affect the final result.
The computer model has two special features refers to the ability to react to the information provided by the designer ( input): the ability self-healing model based on changes in input and in some cases, the ability to self-organization and autoaccrescimento ( autopoiesis).
Following the principles of 'action-reaction' and of 'feedback', the design process feeds on itself in a continuous circular, the evolution of which the design synthesis represents only a snapshot, a freeze-frame.
The relative simplicity of use in some modeling software must not, however, to imply a shift from the role of the architect active figure in the design process to a simple selection of shapes generated by computer. This vision, in fact, would full approval of results and consequent low efficiency of the modeling tool, which would become useless if we will simply explore the formal possibilities generated independently.
is necessary, therefore, that the project as an individual act, so subjective, to intervene to ensure the necessary independence of thought of the author, as part of initiation or destabilization of the mathematical process, by its nature objectifying.
Although each act of design of living continues interrelationship between objectivity and subjectivity of the process data, one wonders how and in what way the computer model is raised in these two polarities.
Our research investigates, through the examples that follow, two possible approaches: the first identifies the computer model as a tool of objectification of subjective assumptions and the second, conversely, analyzes it as a research tool subjective from objective data.
The difference between the two approaches depends primarily on the manner in which they are parameterized design data and the choice of data and priorities are assigned to them in relation to the ultimate goal that the designer intends.
