Toward a Theory of Architecture Machines – Nicholas Negroponte
In his research paper Toward a Theory of Architecture Machines Nicholas Negroponte discusses the advantages of self-developing machines particularly in the field of architecture, identifying the interaction of humans and technology as evolutionary. Negroponte suggests a hypothesis claiming that the authorship of a design work created by a machine belongs unquestionably to the designer as long as the product is based on precise information added by the designer. Certainly the question of authorship becomes cryptic whether machines are able to act independently from any human input.

form and function follow climate – Philippe Rahm
In his writing form and function follow climate Philippe Rahm suggests a new architectural concept which differs from classical approaches such as form follows function or function follows form. Rahm claims that form has to be developed in response to climate conditions and that sustainability is due to be the guideline for architectural advancement.
Rahm investigates the relationship between human and nature. He advocates a transformation of conventional spatial organization into a free space which is not limited by specific functions.
