Investigates the impact of computational design on architectural science, highlighting theoretical disruptions and practical implications.

Key Points

To explore the transformative effects of computational design theory on architectural practice through epistemological, sociological, and practical lenses.
Examined the epistemological shift from deterministic building physics to algorithmic interfaces.
Explored the sociological change that democratizes simulation tools for architects.
Analyzed the paradox of algorithmic legitimation in relation to vernacular knowledge.
Identified that algorithmic interfaces function as black boxes that can alienate designers from physical laws.
Found that architects are increasingly seen as hybrid data curators due to the accessibility of simulation tools.
Advocated for a black box pedagogy that integrates computational literacy with empirical design experience.
