Gilles Retsin: Bits pieces: discrete architecture ( December 5, 2018)

David Ruy introduces Gilles Retsin as part of the second wave of designers engaging digital technologies, especially focused on an aesthetics of the discontinuous and the question of automation. Gilles Retsin begins by reducing the history of architecture to a story of a box: first architects focused on mass, then on planes and lines, which were then liquefied (parmetricism), leaving now only the points. Retsin argues for a new approach to computational design strategies, proposing that by reintroducing
