Brief Introduction
A new framework, agenda and practice is called for to address the challenges and opportunities architecture must confront in the age of our computationally empowered post-Fordist network society. This lecture will introduce the research agenda of ‘agent-based parametric semiology’, and explains the necessity of introducing a new tool, agent-based life-process modelling, as part of the design process, in order to cope with the new complexity and dynamism of architecture’s social functionality. The lecture will also review the development of this design research program over the last 10 years. And will explain the current efforts to move from the illustrative use of life-process modelling to a scientifically grounded quantitative analysis and generative design optimization.
