Open Lecture HomoFaber


Open Lecture HomoFaber
Bauhaus University Weimar, Germany
2 Dec 2010


This is an open lecture by Dimitry Demin about parametric design with Rhino and Grasshopper:

"The title of Homo Faber lecture series opened a new understanding of old philosophical concepts in new virtuosity of architectural algorithms.
By having conjunction of information and causality of the relativity, by having hubris and noumenon elegance of the classical philosophy and by having the sum of potential in non linear coding – now is time for application in the architectural practice!

To close the gap between information, causality and the collective intelligence, Homo Faber principle offers the aesthetic phenomena of intelligent ways where experimental design builds bridges to the contemporary global problems of politics, economics and ecology."
