Responsive Architecture:

‘Can we really ‘talk’ with our architecture?

Or can we have a dialogue with architecture. This gets me thinking about the concept of behavioral architecture similar to human behavior. Studying human behavior involves studying cognition among other things. I wonder what would be the elements of architectural behavior? Would it be tools and techniques as used in Fun Palace or tools/ techniques are just mediums to enable functions governed by a separate agency?

What drives responsive architecture?

Is it dialogue/interaction it creates, is it intention to adapt, tools/techniques and methods used, human or environment?

Computing the performative:

‘SEMPER’ provides comprehensive performance modeling based on first principles, “seamless and dynamic communication between the simulation models and an object oriented space design environment using the structure homology of various domain representations,” and Bir-directional influence through “preference- based performance to design mapping technology.”

Would it be correct to say performative based approach facilitates the idea of architecture as system design? If yes, then can SEMPER be taken as one of the answers to the question about a possible interface that architects would need to interact with their work in a system design approach?
