Something on models caught my eye at a\u00a0conference<\/a>\u00a0inspired by the work of Lionel March Professor of Design at the OU 1976-1981. Several people from the OU past and present, Phil Steadman (UCL), George Stiny (MIT), Ramesh Krishnamurthi (CMU) and Iestyn Jowers, joined colleagues from around the world including his former students Helen Couclelis (UC Santa Barbara) and Thanos Economous (Georgia Tech). \u00a0It was a tremendous celebration of Lionel across, Painting, Aesthetics, Logic, Opera Sets, Computer Aided Design, Planning, Complexity, Architectural History. \u00a0A few of us followed up with a visit to the OU and the sights of Milton Keynes. Although a bit of a look back, this event was swiftly followed by a look forward at Georgia Tech<\/a> in Atlanta two weeks later where new algorithms for shape generation were showcased by Thanos Economou. To finish, \u00a0and the point of this post, a picture from Lionel March’s “Modern Movement to Vitruvius” (RIBA Journal 1972) of a neat graphical summary of inherent pitfalls of design models.<\/p>\n
