Resumen de Environmental analysis processes and algorithmic design. An educational experience
Since the publication in 1948 of Norbert Wiener’s Cybernetics, the information paradigm has exerted a profound influence in practically all fields of western knowledge. This influence has been decisive for the development of two lines of research in architecture, the environmental conception of space and computational design, which represent an important paradigm shift in the profession.
From the identification of the common aspects between these two lines of research, this paper presents a diagrammatic design model, grounded on the use of parametric design tools, which allows the integration of the environmental analysis of architecture and the digital production of space. The development of such a model is a contribution to the discussion about how to instrumentalize the environmental analysis of architecture, and it constitutes a pedagogic tool that endorses the use of digital design techniques as a support for the production of an architecture capable of responding properly to its context.
