The Unlimited Possibilities of Genetic Architecture
2008
Arne Riekstins

In the age of achievements, when there is extreme progress in various fields, people’s perception of materia has changed. The third stage in Worlds architecture has begun – the genetic stage. Genetic processes and DNA computing principles are hybridly being cross-bred with architectures designing processes, making this new stage of architectures evolution. The meaning „architecture“ is obtaining new definitions, digital architecture is overwhelming the World. The technologies in production and material developments support that practically all what is drawn in virtual space can be built. For producing this kind of architecture, it is necessary to reorganize the contents of Worlds architecture schools study programs, as well as new, objective and critical views have to be made accordingly with the things happening in this architecture. The genetic architecture has unlimited possibilities – it can be used for practically all scale design processes: from interior elements up to urban plannings. In this publication author reviews his experiment in making complex shape from an simple algorithm. The last caption of publication explains terms and meanings, few of which in Latvian architecture have been used rarely or never.
