혼성화된 프로그램의 건축적 매개도구로서 다이어그램의 작동 메커니즘에 관한 연구

This study aims to understand the functioning mechanism of diagrams as architectural design instruments. Deterministic architectural design process today could not cope with dealing contemporary society's urban condition whose constituents are various flows and force-fields intersecting each other. Diagrams are instruments which function as united and rational mediator during the substantiation. By analyzing architects' works which introduce diagrams into their design processes in positive way, the potentials of diagrams are: diagrams manage to evolve a process of speculation by integrating all the elements both external and internal to the process, and to rationalize the process by placing factors external to the process internal. Therefore, the new way of design process using instrumental diagrams responds to the hybridized programme of contemporary society.
