Place and parametricism: Provocations for the rethinking of design

这个项目旨在探讨数字和参数化设计的定量方法是否能够充分地涵盖地点。定量的数字和参数化方法日益主导着当代建筑，但人们认为建筑设计本质上应该以地点问题为导向。该项目将通过一系列基于默文·皮克（Mervyn Peake）的小说《歌门鬼城》（gormeng鬼城）虚构地点的工作室进行设计。该项目旨在澄清场所和参数化的本质，并重新思考设计本身可能是什么。

This project aims to explore whether quantitative methods of digital and parametric design can adequately encompass place. Quantitative digital and parametric approaches increasingly dominate contemporary architecture, but people assume architectural design should be essentially oriented to questions of place. The project will operate through a set of studio provocations based on the fictional places of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast novels. The project is expected to clarify the nature of place and parametricism, and rethink what design itself might be.
