Abstract

Α mechanism for generating logic that describes an under-design object by its user, in a digital design medium (AutoCAD by AutoDesk), using a deconstructive tracing of the design process is proposed. Creating multiple, independent, and autonomous correlations of the design language structure and its representation during the design process leads to new associations accessing the notion of Post-Object. The mode of deduction and the research results aim to measure the by-design idiosyncratization, a subject-oriented process of understanding and reacting to a deeper structure. This socially and culturally expected mode, described as a singularization process (Reckwitz, 2020) and the User-Interface relationship, provide correlations between a unique selection of things and an infrastructure, that could be understood as a dispositive of singularization (Agamben, 2009). Crafting a method of relating the design of objects to subjects, as well as the use of language to form, raises questions about how contemporary design is constituted as a way of conceptualizing contemporaneous subjectivities and implicitly post-industrial societies and economies.

This paper will be presented at the TACK Conference in the paper session NATURE(S), 19 June 2023 between 14:30 – 17:00 (CEST) at ETH Zürich (Auditorium HPV G5).

Angeliki-Sofia Mantikou (1987) and Athanasios Farangas (1987) are architect-researchers and Ph.D. candidates at NTUA.  focusing on interdisciplinary, idiosyncratic methods between art and architecture and on the comparative intersection of Architecture & Computer Science in digital design software.
