Abstract

This research informs of a series of experimental design practices for the understanding computational glitches in architecture which appears to be equivalently a 'given' as well as an 'informed'. 'Glitchspace' is introduced to navigate the discussion through a spatial interpretation of digital decay. Currently glitches are only explored as forms of 2D art. We however, look to reconnect the underlying data to its digital architectural spatial form. Our methodology a systematic iterative process of transformational change to explore design emergence on the base of computational glitches. A numerical data driven process is explored using decayed files which are turned into 3D formal expressions. In this context, stereoscopic techniques are experimented, helping understand further how glitch can be performed within a 3D virtual environment. Ultimately we explore digital architectural form existing solely in the digital realm that confidently expresses glitch in both its design process and aesthetic outcome. Thus, our research intends to bring a level of authenticity with the notion of 'glitch-space' by discussing 3D interpretations of glitch in an architectural form.
