One of the most heated topics in architectural discourse is the role of computers in the design process. In my opinion, Frank’s early embrace of computational architecture for his designs has paved the way for more design concepts actually seeing fruition. The ability to quickly generate 3 dimensional models allows for a more efficient design process and it could be said that computation allows the architect to be more creative because it is capable of representing not just rectilinear forms, but far more complex geometries with ease.
Guggenheim Museum was one of the first parametric designed buildings of the time. It was the beginning of a new era, it created it’s own identity through the use of computational design. In comparison with the Gateway project, I would like to design a structure that encompasses the sense of monumentality as Frank Gehry has done with his buildings.
