ama Zaha Hadid Architects’in Citco mermeriyle bu çalışması ancak
insanoğlunun soyut geometrik desenleri tahayyül etmesi ve bunları
fizikselleştirmesi ile mümkün olabiliyor.
Modernizm öncesi zanaatle benzerlik gösteren, teknoloji ile geleneksel
desen oluşturma tekniğinin bir arada kullanımında, tasarımda ileri
hesaplamayla bu geleneklerin buluşturulması önemli bir rol üstleniyor.
‘Hiperarkaik’ adını verdiğim bu yaklaşım, geometri desen ve formun,
geleneksel zanaat teknikleri ile sentezi. Milano’daki pavyonda da
görüyoruz ki, fiziksel yaratım için gereken teknik beceriyi ortaya koyan
insan elinin hüneri olmasa, bu tür desene dayalı geometrik tasarım da
mümkün olamazdı. İnsanın kendisi, hem form hem de kavram olarak,
burada gördüğümüz karmaşık organizasyon sistemlerini üretebilen
organik ve doğal bir güç.

architecture here combines materials, mathematics and craft in a way that
is ironically closer to pre-modern ways of working. The intricate surface
geometries of these panels with their expanding patterns and undulating
textures are only possible in this combination of craft and computation.
While the architects point to the influence of the forms of nature in these
forms it would perhaps be better to relate the hand of man in their creation.
Biomimesis, being inspired by nature, is perhaps an important factor in the
designers approach but it seems that the marble of the Citco with Zaha Hadid
Architects Pavilion could only be achieved by the ability of man to conceive
of abstract geometric patterns and then make them physical.
We see in this work a similarity to pre-modern ways of handcraft with their
emphasis on technique combined with patternmaking. In this case there
is the important role played by advanced computation in design merging
with these traditions. This approach which I have termed “hyperarchaic”
is the synthesis of geometry, pattern and form with traditional methods of
handcraft. In the marble panels in Zaha Hadid Architects and Citco’s pavilion
in Milan we see that in fact if it were not for the capabilities of man’s hand,
the technical prowess required for their physical creation, that this type of
pattern based geometrical design would not be possible. Man his himself an
organic, natural force capable of the generation of complex organizational
systems as both form and concept that we see exhibited here.
