Between Theory and Practice in Architectural Design
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-43589-3 (ISBN)
This book highlights several key architectural features, including a philosophical exploration of life, a focus on creating organic spaces, and the use of the viable system model (VSM) for organisational resilience. Additionally, it emphasises interdisciplinary design thinking and introduces a platform for viable and agile AI-assisted design. The book provides practical case studies highlighting how theory and practice can be integrated into architectural projects, giving architects actionable insights for innovative, adaptive, and purposeful design. By utilising organic design principles and interdisciplinary collaboration, readers will gain a transformative understanding of architecture. The book encourages the application of the viable system model to enhance organisational viability while promoting flexibility and viability in design. Furthermore, architects are encouraged to use logic-based and object-oriented ontology (OOO)-based AI-assisted design approaches due to their ability to evaluate design scenarios quickly.
This book will be of interest to architects, designers, and enthusiasts seeking a comprehensive understanding of architecture, and professionals in architectural enterprises looking to enhance organisational viability will find value. Interdisciplinary collaboration is emphasised throughout the book. Students and academics in architecture and related fields will also benefit from its philosophical exploration and practical insights.
Alexander Tsigkas is a retired professor and a practitioner systems architect passionate about innovative and sustainable design. Tsigkas focuses on applying design thinking and integrating agile methodologies into architectural practices. He enhances organisational viability in the architectural domain with expertise in the viable system model. His work reflects a deep understanding of the philosophical dimensions of architecture, coupled with practical experience in creating live, vibrant, and adaptable places. In recent years, Tsigkas has researched logic-based and OOO-based AI for their use in architectural design, and is committed to research for design excellence. AI is just one mechanism in that direction.
