Vortrag: Ardeshir Mahdavi

Mittwoch, 26. November 2008 - 19:00 Uhr

Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien

Architectural design can be supported by many kinds of models, from traditional scale models to computer-generated virtual buildings. Models are entities that represent other entities. While represented entities may be arbitrarily complex, models can be highly "reduced", i.e. they may focus only on a limited sub-set of the features of the represented entity, while abstracting from other features. Despite – or perhaps because of – this reduction and abstraction, models can enable their users to effectively explore, document, understand, and predict certain properties and behavior of the architectural objects already in the design stage.
