Reading Response 005: Tectile Tectonics

Admittedly, our way of designing has suffered such a great change. The framework of human design and production transform from hand-writing to code-scripting under the guidance of controlled machines. Digital code can not only instruct elements into patterned structures, it can also tell machine to print, copy, cut and so on.
Code talks to things just as things talks to things. Codes often consist of a set of smaller codes. Under the guidance of these codes, the order of materials will be changed while the same properties are kept. Will these codes lead us live in a generic same world?
I don’t think so. It’s just like our human world. We all share the same ethics which doesn’t resulted in the same action. For example, the parks in southern and northern china, the former is elaborate intending to express the owner’s love for nature, while the later is built specially for upper grades, these parks show a magnificent scenery.

After all, architecture is constantly forging new relationships and expressing them in possible forms and shapes. Codes are becoming more and more rich, new ideas affect these already existed codes, in turn, codes somewhat constrain these ideas. Exactly under the affection of many facts, we now can live in a colorful world.
