Antoine Picon: Architecture, matter & language in the Digital Age (March 9, 2016)

Antoine Picon argues that digital technology is giving rise to a new materiality in architecture. Scale and tectonic legibility are no longer givens, while ornament and symbolism are re-emerging as important issues. He stresses that materiality is not about the properties of things but our relationships with them. Picon proposes that architectural form might be a side effect of the production of situations, arguing that the digital revolution helps architecture’s focus shift from permanence and presence, to events and action.
