ABSTRACT

Computation in design, architecture and the built environment, and its practices, methods, and tools frequently offer ‘neutral’ and ‘optimized’ techno-solutions to (social) design problems. Such a portrayal of these computational infrastructures as neutral solutions that open participation in design hides the social, political, and environmental entanglements involved in their creation and expansion. This special issue spotlights power relations between computational practices, technology infrastructures, knowledge, and their reproductions of bias at multiple scales.

设计、建筑和建筑环境中的关键计算关系：社论

摘要

设计、建筑和建筑环境中的计算及其实践、方法和工具经常为（社会）设计问题提供“中立”和“优化”的技术解决方案。将这些计算基础设施描述为开放参与设计的中立解决方案，隐藏了它们的创建和扩展所涉及的社会、政治和环境纠葛。本期特刊重点关注计算实践、技术基础设施、知识及其在多个尺度上的偏见再现之间的权力关系。
