I believe now is the time for the architectural profession to contemplate not only the built environment’s ability stand resistent to great forces of nature, but rather to intervene. Specifically– consider the potential of parametric modeling processes to reach far beyond the custom material textures & differentiated facade paneling systems of recent years. How might incredible computing power and capacity for customization of form respond with a greater magnitude– i.e. to alter the path of tornadoes from civilized areas or to react to spatial parameters of diseases such as Lyme disease which is currently proliferating throughout the northeast coast of the US. By many accounts, the multi-system nature of the disease on the human body is so complex that by some arguments its incurable. Instead of turning to the medical realm to address, what are the architectural parameters to prevent it? Even the clouds in our skies are now under consideration by scientists as design means to lessening the effects of global warming…
