The Procedural Nature of Gothic Architecture and Microarchitecture

This study delves into the procedural nature of Gothic architecture and microarchitecture, focusing on the dynamic processes that defi ne architectural forms rather than treating them as static objects. The analysis emphasizes the role of algorithmic approaches in procedural design, where the creation process, rather than the resultant geometry, becomes the primary subject of study. Key sections of the work include original contributions by the author, such as an analysis of historical design methodologies and their application to contemporary computational practices. Through case studies and interpretive modelling, the author presents a unique perspective on how historical processes can inform modern architectural paradigms. The discussed method – Simulated Morphogenesis – connects historical insights with contemporary procedural techniques.
