Computing Typology: Generative Design for Creating Housing Solutions from Type Analysis in Bogota

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The article delves into the integration of a typological discourse within contemporary design practice, offering insights into a generative system aimed at processing design scenarios from typological analyses. By identifying architectural types within the context of Bogota’s periphery, this research showcases the potential of computational methods to formalize typological principles in design. It also explores the possibilities of digital design to facilitate the production of customized housing solutions on a mass scale. This study contributes to the debate about the role of typology in design practice, highlighting the possibilities inherent in leveraging computational tools to enhance architectural synthesis. Additionally, it investigates the potential of a digital design framework to offer alternative solutions to the housing crisis, addressing the growing demand for affordable, high-quality housing in Latin America.
