Funded Activity Summary

An Analysis of the Cultural, Social and Symbolic Performance of Computer-Generated, Post-Euclidean, Architecture in Australia. Computer Aided Design software has recently provided architects with the ability to use post-Euclidean geometry for the creation of buildings. As the first of these buildings are only now being completed the social, cultural and symbolic performance of this new approach to design remains unknown. The present research seeks to redress this situation by analysing computer-generated public buildings, completed in Australia after 1998. These buildings represent a substantial outlay of public funding and a significant social investment in Australian cities. This research will result in a critical evaluation strategy for public and institutional bodies interested in procuring such buildings.
