Virtual Systems – Actual Objects: Rendition of Morphosis ' Compositional Principles in the mid 1980s

Author(s): Denis Derycke

Contribution to the 2018 Design Communication Association Conference (DCA): Virtual + Actual: Process and Product of Design, Ithaca NY: Cornell University, October 2018.

Abstract:
This essay speculates about some possible conceptual systems upstream to Morphosis' complex and sophisticated projects and artifacts from the 1980s. The demonstrative complexity those objects display is mysterious but appealing as well: the forms and geometric marks they bear are a call for speculation about how they were engendered. Therefore, the goal of this essay isto decipher some of the enigmatic compositional contrivances involved in two unbuilt Morphosis projects in order to recreate - or to invent - some possible virtual process that could have generated the actual products. Eventually, this research offers renditions of some of those virtual systems by giving them shape through new graphic objects. As this research is driven primarily by graphic production. Except the photographs, all the illustrations presented in this essay are from the author.
