Mark Goulthorpe - Variance: Evolution in the Digital Design Work of dECOi Architects

Wednesday 2nd June. 6.30 for 7pm. FREE Event.

Source 490 would like to present their first international guest for 2004 Mark Goulthorpe. Mark is an Associate Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and founded dECOi Architects in 1991, based in Paris and London.

Mark will look at the capacity of computational systems to model variance, and ask how architects are to think through the consequences of such shift to a topological paradigm? The talk will ask after natural evolutionary models, and draw parallels with speculative creative strategies in dance and music. It will be illustrated by examples of dECOi's most recent design projects, that begin to articulate not only the formal but also the technical potentials for a greatly enhanced formal opportunity in architecture.
