Architecture // news // daily @ archiCentral - Part 2. As human beings, our instinctive need forces us to find safe ways to live and shelter. Psychological studies unveil that this is caused by a survival method. Our number one priority as living things is to remain safe and far away from any significant danger. In very early times, we had to deal with rain, snow, extreme heat and other climate conditions. We had no access to any solid shelter or a way to completely be protected from all these things. However, our response to this situation was to create stronger houses. Houses were made out of wood, leaves, and mostly plants. About 100 years ago, buildings were already all over cities. The truth is that we have never been independent from our contexts and what surrounds us. Today, structures are mostly built by two groups of professionals; engineers and architects.
Architects are directly specialized in creating a functional, efficient area that not only looks well, but also accomplishes al its objectives.

Architectural Wall Panels Heat Pump Unit. Parametricism - A New Global Style for Architecture and Urban Design. Back to WRITINGS Parametricism - A New Global Style for Architecture and Urban Design Patrik Schumacher, London 2008 Published in: AD Architectural Design - Digital Cities, Vol 79, No 4, July/August 2009, guest editor: Neil Leach, general editor: Helen Castle Abstract: Though parametricism has its roots in the digital animation techniques of the mid-1990s, it has only fully emerged in recent years with the development of advanced parametric design systems.
Parametricism has become the dominant, single style for avant-garde practice today. It is particularly suited to large-scale urbanism as exemplified by a series of competition-winning master-plans by Zaha Hadid Architects. There is a global convergence in recent avant-garde architecture that justifies the enunciation of a new style: Parametricism.

“How can architects relate to digital media?” TMC keynote at the ‘Day of the Young Architect’ (download as PDF >>) How can architects relate to digital media? The Mobile City keynote at the ‘Day of the Young Architect’: outcomes and further thoughts written by Michiel de Lange & Martijn de Waal Introducing the main questions What do developments in digital media have to do with architecture? We gladly accepted this challenge, since this very issue was one of the main reasons we founded The Mobile City two years ago. This report contains the main argument of our talk. In answering these questions, we make a strong plea for an attitude of ‘critical engagement’. Architecture and new media Now let us work out this argument in more detail.
Yet we believe a new phase has ushered in. We propose that this new phase impels architecture to relate to digital media in a new way, beyond merely using them as instruments, to represent their spatial logic in design, or to design for virtual worlds. Ignore Why wouldn’t architects and planners simply ignore developments in the field of new media?
