The Digital Design Ecosystem:Toward a Pre-Rational Architecture

Thirty years since its introduction, the personal computer’s impact on visual and industrial design has been unprecedented

Exclusive: Terunobu Fujimori

I was an architectural historian until the age of 45. My work involved looking, thinking, and writing about buildings others had created in the past. And then at 45, I suddenly found myself making architecture. I was asked to design a small repository for a shrine in the place where I was born, where I grew up. That shrine boasts a proud, ancient history, going back more than 2000 years. Spirits live in trees, rocks and rivers.

Nikolay Shumakov, Chief Architect of the “Metrogiprotrans” Project Institute, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Arts

…I think, today not so many architects and project teams use the I-net. The start of your project intended to accumulate the architectural information will become yet another stimulus for architects to get closer acquainted with the World Net.

Evgeny Asse, head of the “Asse Architects”, professor and the head of the Workshop for Experimental and Educational Projecting at the Moscow Architectural Institute (MArchI), member of the European Cultural Parliament

…For me, the Internet is a vast volume of information including the information on architecture. In many respects, the World Net has replaced architectural newspapers and magazines, which would not be able to compete with the Internet, because they constitute somewhat different source of information.

Sergey Romanov, head of the studio No. 1 of the MNIIP “Mosproject-4”, professor of MArchI, Ph.D on Architecture, Russia Honored Architect

…Information on architecture is possibly presented in the I-net rather fully but not systematically. It’s often difficult to “reach” the necessary site. There is no accurate structure, which could facilitate the task of searching one or another planner.

Martin Drahovsky, 2nd Vice-President of the International Union of Architects (UIA) – Region II

…There are few web-sites, which can give a full idea on a specific architectural building. Just because of it, I prefer to see the realized projects “alive”. Only in that manner it is possible to discern all the nuances of the building. Well, there is a lot to be improved in this field, but the very idea of creating a portal – that’s a step forwards.
