- - Picon, unlike Le Corbusier and Morel, is able to
write with confidence in technology’s settlement and place in architecture,
stating that its positive impact is undeniable/
- - Reflects Le Corbusier’s expression that ‘earlier
work (the age of information, in this case) … quietly prepared the way’ and
stresses the need for an ‘extended historical perspective’.
- - Explores not just the customisation of models,
but focuses on the direction of future architecture ‘in this context of
incertitude'.
- - Software as replacing the need for hardware to
represent infrastructure, and has become an integral part of not only the
architectural experience, but the public social domain as well.
-
1. Picon’s three branches of topic:
-
The close relationship between technology and ‘our
experience of the physical world’, detailing our reliance on the evolving
technology of the present and future.
- 2. The individual; architecture, traditionally
adapting to suit various people of different socio-economic backgrounds, must
now adapt to ‘key characteristics of the contemporary individual’.
- 4. Context; Picon suggests that modern architects
must learn and adapt to the present day environment, rather than relying on ‘traditional
geometric tools and metrics’, in order to gather a greater understanding of a
subject.
