The nature of information has experienced a great mutation during the past century. The advent of information sciences and its insinuation in every domain of human research has led to a reconfiguration of our perception on nature and human production. This reconfiguration epitomizes the current fusion of knowledge that exemplifies digital architectural research. The architectural environment is now totally infused with digital tools that are direct products of both information theories and scientific investigations.
The learning of the various aspects of information leads to consider computational architecture as composites of both deductive and inductive procedures. The former considers reality in terms of universal laws regulating nature while the latter claims that in complex systems new and totally unexpected laws may emerge. The coupling of deductive and inductive propositions – best demonstrated by the concepts of abstract networks and dissipative structures – represents an essential feature in the building of comprehensive evolutionary models where evolution exemplifies a combinatorial set of intensive information.
Af-fluence In-Fluence Con-fluence refers to the dissipative character of information networks that penetrate the intrinsic structure of reality while acting upon its constant mutation. These various notions are approached across a cutting-edge project recently produced by Open Source Architecture and its partners, the Hylomorphic Project.
