Why Digital Architecture? Mobius House, Van Berkel Computational design has allowed for unique innovations in architecture. The Mobius House is based on the concept of a mobius strip, a twisted form that has no beginning or end. Previous to the introduction of parametric design projects, a form of this complexity would not have been possible. Computational programs allow for more complex forms and the dynamic transformation of three dimensional shapes. By controlling parameters instead of shape, complex forms are possible to find. This project was based on topology, a type of design that is concerned about deforming shapes, while maintaining original properties. This is a common method of approaching digital design. The use of scripting in architecture allows for forms and ideas that were not possible before the introduction of parametric programming, Its employment in the Gateway Project will allow for a design of higher complexity that would otherwise be possible. This increased complexity will allow for the design to be more dynamic, and also more significant and recognisable.
