Towards an Appropriate Technology

The pressures of building procurement frequently leave us with an Architecture bereft of meaning and constructional coherence. It is also a fact that in the field of technology, the means exist to resolve this problem. The rate of technological advance is breathtaking. In education there is neither the resource nor the hardware to fully take advantage of the latest technology. We believe that a role is not being fulfilled in Schools of Architecture in this respect and that new teaching tools must be developed now. We will develop this thesis through a discussion of our own proposal for a computer based teaching package, allowing an exploration of architectural form through the process of analytical and aesthetic manipulation of components.
