ARCHITECTURE ‘SCULPTED BY CONTEXT’ NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR CULTURE EXCHANGE

Abstract

Small changes to a design can have large and unexpected effects on a building’s performance. Unfortunately, analysis of a design to uncover the unintended consequences of early decisions often takes place late in the design process, if at all. For example, the target audience, the number of users, their activities, their schedule, behavior, the nature of being innocent or violent, and the nature of believing in combined ownership and so on in the early stages, can have great effect in latter decision makings. Architecture is sculpted by context, where many parameters within the context (as mentioned above) contribute to the overall fitness of a building. Some combinations of design elements offer more benefit than others. This iterative cycle of variation and selection occurs naturally when architects refine their design tools. Using the different tools for collecting data (the parameters which involve in the overall performance of the area in the city) in many manual ways, we can create positive impacts on the overall performance of the selected area and project in the city.
