Architecture Fordism Architectural Process Peter Eisenman Architectural Diagram Procedural Design Systemic Design Scripting has become a buzzword in architecture, partly due to the proliferation of algorithmic and parametric design techniques in the field. While the influence of digital technology within architecture is without question, it can be said that the genesis of logically driven architectural processes greatly precedes the digital revolution. A comparison can be made between digital processes and how Fordism favored the assembly line process over product. Fordism and assembly line production methods were influential to architects during the first half of the twentieth century, as these designers emulated the aesthetic and formal qualities of industrially produced objects.The system Ford invented had impact across all disciplines, including in architectural profession, and it resulted in the architect being delinquent as the creator of form, and becoming the controller of design processes similar to the assembly line. As architecture sought a means of expressing how it had been made, the diagram as a generative device became a prevalent method of expressing inherent logical operations.This thesis takes the position that architectural objects are representations of inherent logical processes contained within them. These systems form abstract diagrams, or body-plans, which ultimately translate quite literally to architectural form. By analyzing existing (constant) spatial conditions and introducing (variable) contextual forces, a sequential process is constructed, which through a series of diagrams, narrates the logic of operations. 2014-10-27 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1397233150 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1397233150 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
