While reading this article I could not help but be reminded of the first candidate that presented last week. From what I can remember her presentation was all about using parametric modeling to create these patterns that eventually evolve into architecture. At the end of her presentation someone asked her if she uses precedents in her work and she said no. From what the article says, there is no source or copy that is used, the architecture just responds to any range of multiple influences, similar to that of a highway. The road widens or narrows depending upon traffic patterns, moves in and out within the landscape and must also take into account the physical capabilities of the car.
The fact that no source or precedent is used bothers me. Throughout studio we have been told to always use them in our work, in order to defend our work. The reasoning behind not using precedents just does not make sense to me, it goes against what has been instilled in us throughout our education.
