Architectural Design: Versioning
Evolutionary Techniques in Architecture by SHoP Architects

“An emphasis on open models of practice where the application of technology promotes technique rather than image.” In terms of technology, and especially digital modeling, image is very important. The idea that technology would promote technique rather than image would be illogical, given its strong representational quality. Versioning, on the other hand, should be perceived as inhabitable poche, the ambiguous idea of being between spaces. It is capable of bridging the gap between the designer and the digital world, similar to system integration. Most designers think in 3 dimension, and the shift from “a system of horizontal integration towards a system of vertical integration,” is vital.
