Abstract

Architectural design methods have doubtlessly changed due to the digital paradigm shift. The linear workflow of design turned to a loop and the level of human abstraction in each design phase are led by algorithmic computation. Facing this phenomenon is a puzzle for many professionals.

Instead of designing the exact output of an architectural work digital allows to plan the method of creation with possibly similar but not necessarily identical results. This paper through the examination of the Wave Function Collapse algorithm highlights the ideological tensions compared to the traditional design process by showing how the human intuition can turn to machinic randomness.
