Résumé (en anglais)

Computational design in architecture has evolved quickly in the recent years such that many architectural schools have made their programmes more inclusive towards it than ever before. With software and hardware becoming more affordable and accessible, architectural students have the opportunity to push the envelope further, including interpreting heritage and historical architecture in a new way. This paper looks into an exploration of how computational design is used to generate new building language within context of heritage zone integrated in the general urban fabric. The site is situated in the old town of Johor Bahru, a city with long history and rich culture on the southern tip of the Malaysian peninsular. The theoretical design project takes advantage the rich heritage elements in the immediate surrounding using algorithms managed by Grasshopper within Rhinoceros 3D modelling software. The process derives elements and architectural features from the surrounding traditional Johor shop houses as form generator, and produces contemporary interpretation unique to the site. The outcome we explored is unhinged, bold and aggressive; but the process provides insight on how computational design could be used to produce alternative architecture that captures the historical and cultural elements and respects its surroundings.
