Computation Speaks: Constructing Meanings of Computational Design in the Public Realm

Submitted to in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture at the Wentworth Institute of Technology, April 2018

Dublin Core Metadata

title: Computation Speaks: Constructing Meanings of Computational Design in the Public Realm

creator: Dylan Bush

subject: Architecture and technology; Architecture, Technological innovations; Architectural design; Bus stops, Designs and plans

description: This thesis questions how one can integrate new design and manufacturing technologies not only into the discipline of architecture, but into culture and the social narrative— how new design tools and the often unfamiliar forms and structures that hose tools make possible begin to impact the average person’s experience of the built environment, and how that experience can communicate the value of computation in design. In parallel with this is the question of how research in digital fabrication can investigate not only the technical and spatial, but also the social. How can the new and unfamiliar be disseminated beyond novelty experiments in a meaningful way? How can these tools be used to create spaces and places of lasting value which begin to study the “human factors” involved in computational design realities?
