Hidden logic of complexity – Graphical interfaces and algorithms for the building system

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Complexity theory provides an essential framework for analysing buildings as complex sys-tems, influenced by the interaction of architectural, structural and building services ele-ments. To manage this complexity, BIM methods and tools for Facility Management lever-age the language of drawing to represent the complexity of data and optimise its manage-ment. The analysis of more than three thousand rooms of the Piedmont Region Palace as a case study for this contribution demonstrates how algorithms and automatisms can fa-cilitate the management of large amounts of data to improve the visualisation and interpre-tation of information. This paper examines the value of graphical interfaces in revealing hidden logics of complexity and transforming them into resources available to users for a new decision support system.
