Design-Data Intelligence: Microhistories and Diagrammatic Reasoning
Abstract
Design-data intelligence refers to complex cognitive and information structures (systems of thinking and coding), or specific logics controlling data, that lie behind design research processes. These specific mindsets and mechanisms of data networking define the context in which we operate while resolving different spatial and other problems within the specific architectural design tasks. It is an information and knowledge base that shapes design attitudes and positions, preceding conceptual decisions and concrete design actions. In order to make them visible, we usually use different techniques of relational graphic representation such as diagrams. Diagrams are adopted as the most abstract and suitable category, having the capacity to grasp multiple dimensions of thinking processes. Based on diagrammatic reasoning, or thinking method, the research results and theoretical “weaving” are presented as data-maps and spaces aiming to facilitate comprehension of data-connectivity lines, vect...ors and patterns (connectivity patterns, H. Müller: 2014) of the extended mind (Clark and Chalmers: 1998), bridging internal cognitive and biological processes with the general social-cultural context and conditions, specifically architectural design history and theory. This space-information form (information of architecture/data-architecture), as a parallel conceptual system, complements other spatial aspects, extending perceptible and experiential reality by additional data. Even though it cannot be completely equated with architecture’s physical properties, it conveys certain aspects of its materiality that can be used for direct intervention in spatial identity, form, and code. Mapping and tracing through our mental space reveal existing and invisible knowledge structures and predict ones yet to come. The resulting augmented reality implies the ways in which digitality transforms spatial awareness.
