Bernard Cache: Towards an Associative Architecture

• Cache addresses the future of digital architecture and the appeal of "fully associative design and manufacture". Similar to parametric design, associativity "establishes a seamless set of relations" within its components.
• Cache also notes the evolution in 'curvature', 'interlacing' and 'panelling' due to newer software; he stresses the future of digital design as "concentrating all the complexity in the software and the machining operations, in order to make the manual options fewer and more intuitive".
• The solution to creating larger scaled objects, using the Semper Pavillion as an example, is to understand the logic and system between components to assembly.

Domus 948: Open Source Architecture

• "The Architecture of Facebook" addresses the system of online networking, creating links between people with similar interests by addressing the impulses of the human condition.
• The article also addresses the data centre storing Facebook's information and the technology needed to process it. It also foresees that these centres will increase over time; "the bigger the Internet becomes, the more it is a part of the physical world".
