SUMMARY Based on our preliminary research on the topic, this article presents some possibilities of particular theoretical approaches to the problem of architecture and urbanism in totalitarian and authoritarian regimes. First section briefly introduces the view on development of architecture and urbanism as a process with complex inner dynamics influenced by universal ideas of modernist […]

SUMMARY This paper briefly summarizes the progress of scientific thinking in the course of 20th century focusing on the emergency of system theory and its implications for urban design research. This is done in the quest for the verified method and conceptual framework applicable to use when dealing with a complex and elusive problem such […]

SUMMARY This article focuses on an architecture database management which explores new options and methods for displaying geographic location of documented works by means of map applications. The aim is to improve possibilities of locating architectural works documented in an architecture database and to allow more accurate and specific documentation of such works in particular. […]

SUMMARY Present trends in the area of (digital) architecture and fabrication focus on the research of reactivity of a complex system of factors in architecture and digital fabrication. These determinants may vary – from operational and social to structural or material. Fabrication of architectural structures occurs in real physical world in the form of complex […]

SUMMARY Digital discourse in design developed from simplifying conventional design process via automatization, through parametrically driven modification of similar elements, to generative emergent complex systems. Transition from parametric to emergent design represents a way from the top-down system to decentralise the bottom up way of work derived from non-linear theory. Emergent design is thus considered […]

SUMMARY The article is dedicated to the experimental 3D Workshop (it took place from 3.8. – 8.8. 2015) which represents one of the research methods of the dissertation thesis Film cities – Visions, Utopias, Futurism. Up to now, research lacked practical verification of couple of anticipated conclusions, which can be observed through the practical workshop. […]
