THE
POLITICS OF BIG DATA:
FROM SURVEY, TO IDEAL, BACK TO AN INFORMED REALISM
Invited Associate Professor
Pablo Lorenzo-Eiroa UIC Barcelona, NYIT Associate Professor, Studio-Workshop
Summer 2020
The Studio first surveyed Gaudi
Sagrada Familia in Barcelona through Big Data gathering and processing,
understanding the act of survey as an initiator of the study-design.
Understanding reading as a form of design, students surveyed, read, understand
and expand upon discoveries of Sagrada Familia. Then the studio worked out
latent relationships in the building through Big Data processing using dynamic
structural simulation and optimization looking for latent repressed
opportunities in the readings of the project. Therefore the studio, related form
to structural performance through dynamic interactive computational systems.
Students worked with several types of computational simulation, including Big
Data survey, VR simulation, and evolutive simulations. The objective of the
studio is to compare the original form of the surveyed building to a
contemporary means to measure catenary forces, and from this analysis, critique,
find problems and expand opportunities to displace, build up and expand upon
Gaudi’s strategies.
