UNIT 1 REFLECTION
UNIT 1
Sources for architectural writing are often very well researched, in the sense that they come from verifiable backgrounds with substantial content to follow. Any sort of academic paper has required a source structure similar to this model, but I have never used sources quite like the ones I have for this project. In essence, the quality of the chosen sources was up to my discretions as a reader and analyzer, searching for quality content with topics pertaining to my overall research proposal, architecture and the technological landscape. While not being a typical source collection process, the end result for my entourage of sources has proven quite useful as a point of future reference.
I used four types of literary and cinegraphic source, from a journal, scholarly article, publication, and documentary to delve into the vast field of the technological landscape. Focusing on four main topics of interest within the group, drones, AR, technology evolution and AI, all of which can be directly linked with the field of architecture, “This aspect involves new concepts of how AR can be adopted in the design area and new theories of how AR can be applied to design.” as one example of the melding of these technologies into the discourse of architecture. Each source caters to a very specific type of technological innovation, being implemented currently throughout the field, with one of the most recent innovations being drones, “There are a lot of implications of drones changing the way architecture is perceived and also in the future the way architecture is built.” The only issue for these subjects is their infancy compared to other more concrete methodologies, in both the fields of design and technology.
I believe that these sources curate a variety of informative discussions on how the future of architecture will be dictated and essentially re-formatted. While not all innovations can be seen as useful and overall, beneficial, typically what is being stated in these sources provides good evidence of further iteration towards a positive technological future. However there will have to be a substantial increase in research-based content to see these new technologies truly being integrated in the physical world, areas of conductivity between software, drone building application, AI architecture scripts, or in this case another form of compatibility issue, “ The limited integration between CAD and AR applications have hindered users from maximizing exploitation of their combined strength and complementary advantages.” All of these subcategories could be further researched to reinforce their credentials, leaving designers, including myself, with an abundance of unsolved content and iteration, still in need of solving.
The topic of drones being implemented in the building process, in conjunction with AI and AR finding ways to re-wright design software and experience all pose as valuable resources for my upcoming projects. Essentially, I could implement all three of my curated sources and have enough information to build off of this topic exponentially. I might benefit to find a few sources on these proposed technologies that are more defined in one particular subgroup, however. For instance drones as builders, or AR meets Rhino software, etc. This would define a more select path of technological innovation in architecture, one in which could more closely follow the decline of the human aspect in design, or how technology implements itself in more minute ways. Either way, I do believe I have a functional collection of sources to further analyze, process and fundamentally produce some insightful points on architecture and the technological landscape.
