abstract

computers have come to play an important role in architectural practice. nonetheless, the promise of computation as a creative partner in practice, and a means to better understand and support the design process has yet to be realized. this article considers aspects of computation, and alternative ways that these have been approached in order to make computation useful in architecture and other areas of spatial design.
