Conclusions
28Alexandros Vazakas, Lecturer, Department of Architecture Technical University of Crete.04/21/23
A fundamental relation between architecture, crafts and geometry is recognized, a relation which through the concepts of invariant and variation leads to a way of thinking based on continuity. Beyond the theoretical infinity of constructional and design capabilities provided by digital technologies, which very often lead to a designer’s “easiness” there is a need for a deeper and more substantial connection of Architecture with man and society. A new paradigm of construction and design of space is required, a new relation between geometry and fabrication where digital technologies will be the leading factor, reuniting the human body with the almost forgotten language of construction.
