Ο αρχιτεκτονικός σχεδιασμός σε συνθήκες προηγμένης τεχνουργίας

Abstract

Through advanced technourgia (i. e. the transcendences of configurations by technical means) we examine architectural design, its various aspects, processes and especially its limitations, as manifested in our days. In our view, the past is that of mechanical - technical methods, of mechanical constructions analogous to the human, a mechanical transference of human measures to architectural works. [The expression advanced technourgia, rather than advanced technical methods or technology, is used to denote the difference —almost the separation— of contemporary artificial systems both from (western) technique and from its philosophical foundation]. Direction: from the mechanical paradigms to advanced technourgia, from advanced technourgia to architectural design, from architectural design to man. The main question: In what ways do mechanical - technical concepts / constructions and their further evolution as advanced technourgia delimit architectural design? The most important convention of this text: We presume that writing can still examine the phenomena of the "immersion" of architectural design into its processes, into the total programming (of its processes). Method: Critical reasoning. Extension of interpretations in Phenomenology.
