CHAPTERS 1. The End Of The Modern World 2. What abstraction does 3. From the modern to the complex 4. From complexity to form generation 5. Form generation and fractals 6. Fractals 7. Conclusions and findings 8. Methodology
TOPIC: Adaptive rethinking along with fractal architecture as one of the defining solutions for the contemporary complex urban fabric. Why do we need to do this research?
New technologies (here complexity sciences) attract architectural response.
The need is to look one step ahead of modernism & the need is to produce architecture of our time. Hence, the complex urban fabric shall attempt to be more than what Modernism proposes a step ahead of what people are sticking to right now –as- plain abstraction of forms; that architecture is something more than a play of forms, should be evident from the experiences of our daily life, where architecture participates in most activities.
The intention of this paper can become clearer with the help of the Para below. Benoit Mandelbrot in his conversation with Seed magazine’s Paolo Antonelli mentioned: “Walking toward the Garnier opera house in Paris, from far away, the most striking thing is the roof. You come closer, other things appear, but they are always of approximately the same degree of complication.
Whereas Mies van der Rohe’s architecture seen from a distance is just a big box. As you get closer you see a grid of windows on the box, and as you get really close, you can see some things of
