Abstract (2. Language):
The developments in the 20th century in technology and computer-aided
communication means, as well as studies in mathematics, geometry
and science have brought about significant changes in architecture as
a consequence of its close relation with other disciplines (1). Changes
in the formation, modification and transformation of data affected
the architectural design practices directly or indirectly and altered the
conception of space, its perception and visual expression in a radical way.
Parallel to these developments, computational design tools and strategies
such as parametric design, associative geometry, algorithmic procedures
and scripting, which are already practiced in industries such as aerospace,
automotive and shipbuilding propose the potential to alter the boundaries
of architectural design and representation processes (Kolarevic, 2005). The
use of mentioned strategies in architectural design processes influenced
and blurred the relationships between the environment and the data,
between the virtual and the real and also between the design ideas and
their architectural representation. In this paper it is aimed to discuss
the architectural representation process in the computational design
environment and consider the radical shifts recognized in its re-definition
subsequent to the ubiquitous practice of computational design tools and
strategies.
In this challenging research and design practice, computers and
computational design tools are not utilized only for the transfer,
manipulation or printing of already conceptualized ideas (Terzidis, 2003).
Instead, their use promotes the conception of design ideas, as well as
their representation and manufacturing through the very same medium
offered by these tools. (Kolarevic, 2000). It is argued in the paper that, when
different phases of design process are associated to define a continuous
one, representation of design ideas is seen to go beyond mere drafting or
visualizing procedures, indicating a shift in the conventional architectural
representation process. In this respect, the paper discusses the substitution
of the orthographic set with the numeric set as an outcome of the extensive
use of mathematical models in the computational design research and
practice.

Abstract (Original Language):
Bu makalede, 20. yüzyılda bilim, matematik, geometri, bilgisayar
destekli iletişim ve tasarım alanlarındaki gelişmelerin doğrudan ya da
dolaylı olarak mimari tasarım ve temsil süreçlerinde tanımlamış olduğu
sıçramalar incelemiştir. Makale kapsamında, havacılık, otomotiv veya
gemi sanayisi gibi alanlarda kullanılmakta olan sayısal tasarım araçlarının
ve stratejilerinin mimari tasarım ve temsil süreçlerine dahil edilmesi bu
süreçleri değiştiren ve dönüştüren bir gelişme olarak ele alınmıştır. Bu
bağlamda, sadece tasarım fikirlerinin ve mimari çözümlerin ifadesi olarak
değil, sözlü, görsel ve sayısal ifade biçimlerini kullanan bir dil olarak da
yorumlanabilen mimari temsilin ve ortografik çizimin, sayısal tasarım ve
üretim süreçlerindeki gelişmelere paralel olarak yeni bir sıçramaya tanıklık
ettiği belirtilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, sözkonusu sayısal tasarım araç ve
yöntemlerinin mimari tasarım süreçlerinde kullanılmasının tasarım fikirleri
ve onların mimari temsili arasındaki ilişkileri bulanıklaştırdığı vurgulanmış
ve görsel olmayan sayısal temsilin bir strateji olarak benimsenmesi ele
alınmıştır.
