Liquid architecture : hypersurface as an architectural idiom

Abstract

Architecture as a melting pot between the arts and sciences and as the study of the built environment has become a cross disciplinary platform for discussion and experimentation into an emerging Multi-Dimensional Digital Society. Architecture seeks to find harmony between pragmatics and poetics through phenomenological relationships of tectonics, placement, and culture. The choreography of these events, both physical and metaphysical, leads to a depth in the art of place making. Today Architecture is recasting itself, becoming, in part an experimental investigation of new geometries, those of the structure and flow of information, and of new socio-spatial organizations that move and change outside of conventional Cartesian co-ordinates. Architecture must grapple with new Virtual spaces and their relationship to the Physical spaces we inhabit. New architectural diagrams must be conceived and therein the digital revolution will be integrated into the very fabric of architectural discourse and practice
