f(xn): Explicit and Recursive Definitions of Architectural Typology

Economou, Athanasssios ;

Article:

The notion of a generative description of architectural typology is discussed. Two different approaches are identified and contrasted in terms of their expressive power in design. The building type of the courthouse is selected to showcase and test the approach. One case study is briefly presented to pictorially illustrate the findings.
