ABSTRACT
We are fully involved in, and by, a digital and computational world. At the time of writing, we already have, for example, the first digitally educated scholars entering higher education. But we are only starting to realize the potentials and effects of such technologies, which the sciences and the arts have fully embraced. Architecture is participating, too. But it is torn by internal aversion, critique and conservatism. We should embrace the capacities of advanced technologies and of new intelligent architectures. In order to get more involved with and by digitality, we have to involute into it, penetrate it. The computer in its incompleteness is capable of revealing and working digital capacities and properties. And a theoretical framework for DP can be imagined through computational and digital research and design. Thus I suggest regarding the computer equally and simultaneously as object of and object for design and research. As mentioned, this self-referentiality lies at the core of DP.
