from digital to physical and back

we shape the tools, and they in turn shape us.

Its a matter of points of viewIn antiquity, the model of nature was based on the IDEAL NUMBERS and PROPORTIONS: the rules to dimension architecture and to describe the concept of beauty.

Today, backed by 3-400 years, the model of nature is based on CALCULATION:

- Dimensions are purified by ideals units- A mathematical language: CURVES -> to describe surfaces- The whole and the parts related in continuity: discrete and continuous elements

Different manifestations of the same information.I can take a physical representation and transform it into information but it is not obvious how to go from information to representation, it is not univocal, the information might have other manifestations.

Different manifestations,unique language

Is there a pencil design? There is Descriptive geometry.Is there a design that is derived from the Descriptive ge-ometry? Sure.When these tools will be fully integrated, we will return to talk about design.

They are tools that help the paradigm transition.

. . . In that Empire, the Art of Cartography attained such Perfection that the map of a single Province occupied the entirety of a City, and the map of the Empire, the entirety of a Province. In time, those Unconscionable Maps no longer satisfied, and the Cartographers Guilds struck a Map of the Empire whose size was that of the Empire, and which coincided point for point with it. The following Generations, who were not so fond of the Study of Cartography as their Forebears had been, saw that that vast map was Useless, and not without some Pitilessness was it, that they delivered it up to the Inclemencies of Sun and Winters.
