scripters ancient to the future

Plato - the theory of Forms and platonic solids

John Cage - iChing and chance operations determining musical composition

Robert Reich - tape loops set to x duration and layered, creating juxtaposition of rhythm and melody

Bucky Fuller - geodesic structure, tensegrity

Jackson Pollock - Jack the "Dripper" using a stick instead of a paintbrush

Antonio Gaudi - creating the Sagrada Familia through the use of invert chain catenary arch modeling

None of these form-creators used a computer! ...but all used form-generative formulations... rules... to govern the creation of their work, designing not the object but the terms. This should make us feel better, that "scripting" has an analog equivalent in the world, and is at least as old as ancient Greece.

coded behavior

This is an image of planktic foraminiferal, theorized to be a planktic cell found in marine life. The theoretical morphogenetics or morphspace of this planktic form derive from 3 parameters, the angle of advance, amount of overlap, and ratio between successive chambers.

i dont know if you guys have heard of this or not but i came upon this skyscraper being built in chicago and thought i should share it with all of you.

i feel like in my research, especially with hist of arch, we find that its not always so good to keep repeating the past and to create something new and different, but when i saw this building it reminded me of the treatises we are reading. they all revert towards nature and i feel like this building is a good representation of the past naturalistic ideals that were considered so important and a new and exciting futuristic concept.
