Peter Eisenman lectured at my University and he spoke highly of a
computer generated design of form. This completes his architecture and
chaos theory link in a physical manifestation. As I remember, he spoke
of changing equations and looking at the resulting forms, then modifying
these until they are programmable and habitable. An example was that
of a hotel/skyscraper in Hong Kong (?), where the form was generated
and the building was constructed...including multi-directional sloped
ramps and stairs. People would trip, everyone thought it was funny,
and Eisenman laughed.
