Redefinition of the process of design and realization in emerging architecture on the principle of "digital chain"

Abstract

The setting of design and architectural realization today cannot be considered separately from the emerging architecture, which is based on digital technology. Digital technology has primarily affected the architectural presentation, and eventually began to represent a design tool directly connected with the realization, which was across various digital techniques establishing continuity of a "digital gap" as a global problem of discontinuity of design and realization in architecture and fulfilling complex design requirements of the architecture today. With the characteristics of continuous connection, this relation design - realization is increasingly manifested as a CAAD/CAM technology and the most commonly researched as a "digital chain" principle. Primarily, the term "digital chain" is defined and investigated (theoretically, experimentally and practically) at the CAAD department at ETH Zurich (germ. ETH Zuerich) within the research projects of this institute. Today the tool has become an indispensable, inevitable and active, and the architect seemingly passive and in an unclear position in the whole process and the offered solutions of space and architecture. Accordingly, the paper explains the principle of "digital chain", and overlapping with elements of a conventional (standard) architectural approach, based on the settings of the positioning architects in new conditions, redefines the process of design and realization in the emerging architecture in architectonic sense.

Postavka projektovanja i realizacije arhitekture danas se ne može posmatrati odvojeno od novonastajuće arhitekture (engl. emerging architecture), koja je bazirana na digitalnoj tehnologiji. Digitalna tehnologija je prvenstveno uticala na prezentaciju arhitekture, dok je vremenom počela da predstavlja i alat za projektovanje sa direktnom vezom sa realizacijom, koja je preko različitih digitalnih tehnika uspostavljala kontinuitet "digitalnog jaza" kao globalnog problema diskonuiteta izmedju projektovanja i realizacije arhitekture i ispunjavala kompleksne zahteve projektovanja danas. Sa karateristikama kontinualne veze, odnos projektovanje - realizacija se sve više manifestuje kao CAD/CAM tehnologija i često istražuje i kao princip "digitalnog lanca". Prvenstveno, termin "digitalni lanac" je definisan i istraživan (teoretski, eksperimentalno i praktično) na CAAD katedri na ETH Cirih (nem. ETH Zuerich) u okviru naučnih projekata ovog instituta. Danas je kao alat postao neophodan, neminovan i aktivan, a arhitekta naizgled pasivan i u nejasnoj poziciji u celom procesu i ponuđenom rešenju prostora i arhitekture. U skladu sa tim, rad objašnjava princip "digitalnog lanca", a preklapanjem sa elementima konvencionalnog arhitektonskog pristupa, bazirajući se na postavkama pozicioniranja arhitekte u novim uslovima, redefiniše proces projektovanja i realizacije novonastajuće arhitekture u smislu arhitektoničnosti.
