Q’s Thesis paper 2nd draft Nov 25, 2007
Introduction
There are certain forces around us which are invisible and undetectable by our senses. Some of these forces are part of nature, the others produced by man. People have been aware of these invisible forces and scientists have been trying to discover them.
Invisible forces have some impacts on our daily lives since we all lives in certain force fields such as gravity, magnetism, electromagnetism and electromagnetism. Invisible magnetic field creates an electrical movement. All in all, invisible force has changed our lifestyle and has many effects on people.
Artists in 20th century tried to materialize invisible energy in various forms. Artists made sculptures, paintings, installations and not to mention films for their artistic experiments throughout the century. Then it influenced other areas such as cinema and architecture.The Exhibition, “Force Field: Phase of the kinetic”, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona in 2000 was a milestone in art history because there was no such exhibition before to cover artists from the 1920s to the 1980s in the area of force field art. The visual artists during this time tried to express invisible force field with their own methods such as moving sculptures, mechanical devices, and experimental drawings under the influence of the drug. -under the influence of drugs- All these artistic works were experiments to give form to the invisible force.These days, the exhibition has significant influence on architecture field. Architects are trying to bring these ideas and apply them to design spaces. Development of 3D software and improved technology also played a great role to make this possible. The contemporary architects successfully applied the concept of force fields to design interactive spaces by analyzing the pattern of movements and consider the flow in the space.
This thesis paper will discuss how artists who deal with the concept of force field have influenced to contemporary architects and explore how architects successfully applied this new theory in architecture.
Body
The scientific theories, from Newton to Einstein, has had a profound effect on development of force field concept in art and architecture. There exist many different invisible forces in human living space such as gravity, magnetism, electromagnetism and electromagnetic radiation. Invisible magnetic field creates an electrical movement. Man had discovered how to generate electricity from this and Thomas Edison used electricity to light up the world. Electromagnetism is also used in electric motor, electricity, light, car, airplane, sound, radio, computer, and television. Force fields are highly corelated to daily lives of human and it is the reason why visual artist and contemporary architects have been trying to materialize invisible forces.
Meaning of force field to ArtistsArtists who deal with the concept of force fields in art are like scientists who tried to prove the invisible force. These artists tried to materialize the invisible force in the force of movement. There are four famous artists who have influenced not only the artistic field but also the other areas.
Jesus Rafael Soto
Soto is a famous kinetic sculptor artist. The one of his famous work is “Penetrable” which consist of square arrays of thin, dangling tubes. Observers can touch, feel and have different optical images due to the movement of tubes as they walk through the room sized installation.
Penetrable of Tongyoung, 1998 Ocre jaune inférieur, 2000
http://www.jr-soto.com/fset_sonoeuvre_uk.html
This form of art creates a illusionary movement when observers moves relative to it. Soto was trying to manifest the existence of force with this moving sculpture. He also used and applied mathematical formula in his art. It is why geometric and linear form can be easily found in his works.
Francois Mollet
Francois Morellet began his career in 1952. The characteristic of Mollet’s work is geometric trend. Mollet was also tried to prove the existence of force through his works. He used geometric forms to materialize the force field since the repetition of straight lines or small squares creates vibrating patterns.
Henri Michaux
Henri Michaux is a French painter, journalist, and poet. Michaux has performed many experiments to express how drug influence his artistic works. In his work, drug just happened to be a method to deliver the force and he participated in these experiments by himself. Interestingly, even though he was unconscious when he draw, all his drawings are consists of repetitions of fine and delicate lines.
Ligia Pape
Ligia Pape had a performance to express energy between people. She had an artistic performance inviting a number of people to put their heads through the holes in a cotton sheet. The cotton plane is the force field. The individual movement is invisible force and the people underneath the cotton plane are the habitant in the field. The movement of individual participant made the cotton sheet to be stretched or folded and she was tried to express the energy between peoples through the individual movements on the cotton plane.

Meaning of force field to Architects
The visual artists in force field have a decisive role in developing new concept of architectural space in relation to force field. It influenced the change of conventional concept of buildings and architects view a building as a living organism which requires harmonization with surroundings. Architects started to apply this new concept of space into design. They design space considering the flow of people, interaction with people and nature. This is a new concept of architectural space adapting behavior pattern of human beings in the force field. There are two architects who deal with invisible in their design work.
Patrik Schumacher, Architect
Patik is a partner of Zaha Hadid and he clearly explained this new domain of architecture in his interview. “We foresee the possibility that most (if not all) architectural space will become responsive and be animated through intelligent kinetic capacities. According to the Schumacher (2004), he sees that the new building will have sensors to monitor the movement of people and apply the patterns to create responsive structures. This is exactly same concept of force field in visual art. Human behavior creates a force and buildings response to it. The development of technology made this possible. With the evolution of 3D software, it is now possible to simulate different scenarios within seconds and allow architects to create the new concept of space.

Ben Van Berkel, Architect
World Business Center, Pusan 2006
http://www.unstudio.com/
Ben Van Berkel also designed a space based on the analysis of movement patterns of visitors, residents, moving cars and pedestrians. He started with diagram to design which represents the relationship between idea and form, contents and structure. As many visual artists used different solutions to materialize the invisible force fields, Ben Van Berkel used diagram to demonstrate the relationship between the force and the structure. To Ben Van Berkel, structure is not homogeneous and it assume different identities.
Conclusion
Buildings exist within the force field space. There is force within the buildings and also outside of the buildings. It can be a geometric force, force between people and any artificial force generated by machine. They influence each other and it is why architects try to design a space interacting with them. It is a new concept of space and visual artist in force field had a great influence on. The development of new scientific theories from Newton to Einstein also has decisive role in giving profound effect on this new concept of space. Architects have been used gravity as a defining force directing the path of a building but gravity is no longer used for defining force itself. Architects now consider various other invisible forces in designing space.

Feedback to Jung Yuen Shin
Communicate with audience who are in different places.
01.
Interactive medium is one of the good ways of communication with people who are in other places.
02.
This thesis statement is effective because I can assume about this paper and see her opinions. Her words keep irritating me.
03.
This essay is effective because I can see clearly what she wants to say and it’s easy to read and understand
04.
a. yes b. yes c. yes d. no
05.
I did
06.
A paragraph in page3. I really like this paragraph!!!
Jung Yuen used the sentence “we leave places and we cannot go back” It allow me to understand easily why the communication way is so important between artists and audiences.
07.
From the end of page 2 to beginning of the page 3, I want to see more examples which can support your idea. It is easy to understand but It’s little abstract.
08.
I don’t have question because this paper is well organized. I just expect to read the paragraph “how to make”
09.
I found the word “we and I” at the end of the paper. You change a tone so it makes me confuse.
10.
You said “these kinds of media and information control people.” I think it will be better if you can give some example to explain how to control people. You also said “We can use the virtual reality in good way.” In this sentence, I am not sure what the good way is.

First group proposal - Plagiarism

In this case of study, Igor Zakarov a Russian student bought a paper from his friend George to submit to Professor Graham because he has some problems such as lack of time, poor grammar, pressure and not to mention the need to get the high grade in order to graduate earlier. Even though George said that it will be no problem to buy a paper, Professor Graham was suspicious and found out it was not Igor’s paper.We could guess that Igor bought the paper from George.The reason why we think that way is that not only he didn’t know how serious the plagiarism is in the United States, but also he was convinced by George that nothing was going to happen. However, contrary to the George’s opinion, we know that it can make a serious problem. Even though a substantial number of students have been tempted to plagiarize, we think this should not be accepted in any situation.At first, schools should teach their students the meaning and consequences of plagiarism as soon as they get into the school. Moreover, we strongly believe that this kind of Igor’s action should be punished with an F to fail the class .However, we think that the second chance should be given to the students due to the fact that everyone could make a mistake.

HP summury, analysis and feedback
1) Revision of Summary - HP
This is about the marketing campaign of HP. The reason why they began this campaign is that they wanted to get more consumers who would buy their products and use the web site to present their goals. After making the website, they hoped to earn money and that more people would use their products. According to this article, there is no doubt that HP is the biggest printer company in the world. However, Hewlett-Packard is beginning to start the marketing campaign to make people think about using their printers and ink more. HP saw the possibility of selling their products to people and It was successful. Even though they are at the top of the global printing market, they keep trying to appeal to consumers.
2) Individual Analysis -HP
I think that focusing on the online user is the only way to attract new consumers. Even though we can find printers everywhere and it is demonstrated that printers were one of the most important devices for people, people today do not use their printers extensively.and due to the fact that people will ride wave of the web.
3) What I learned about the weaknesses of my writing when I worked with a writing tutor.
Tutor said :
- Making grammer error (specially article and verve tense)
- Not choosing proper words.
- Not knowing what’s more common phrase.

The Two Benefits of Digital Techniques as a Designing tool in Architecture.
: Improving Efficiency and Performance.
Gyu jin, Hwang
Intensive English Program
07/FA-ENGL-097-19
Sang Kim
Introduction
Digital technology in architecture is nothing new. Architects have been applied digital technology as an assistive tool that would enhance the practice of architecture for decades. Each process of drawing, creating diagram, modeling, performance simulation, construction management and building fabrication are now performed using computer based technology. By means of improving efficiency and performance in entire process of design building and construction, digital technology should be focused on.
First, architects can improve efficiency in designing by using digital technology. Frank Gehry’s Disney Concert Hall is an example of how he was able to eliminate time consuming process by using CATIA(Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) as a 3D modeling software. CATIA is a software which allow architects to simulate all the design process. Second, digital technology enables architects to enhance performance. For instance, visualization tool which deal with 3 dimensional space made it possible to create amorphoused building like Ponte Parodi in Genoa Italy by Ben Van Berkel. This paper discusses how architects improves efficiency and performance in design process using digital technology.

Frank Gehry’s work show how architect can improve efficiency in design process using digital technology. According to Webb (2003), Frank Gehry has adopted CATIA (Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) in Walt Disney Concert Hall project. Walt Disney Concert Hall is not only a landmark in downtown California but also a good example of computer based approach. CATIA is a computer program originally developed in France by the Dassault Systems aviation company to design Mirage Jet Fighters. CATIA scans model and translates the information into working drawings and detailed specification for builders. By using CATIA, Gehry was able to design complex geometry of the Walt Disney Concert Hall. CATIA also handled very large and complex models which was not possible with traditional CAD package.
Figure 02. Examples of applications using CATIA.
According to the Bricklyn (2004), With CATIA driven process, almost all Gehry’s projects get completed ahead of schedule and under budget. In Walt Disney Concert Hall project, constructor saved 6 months from the schedule and returned $2M to the client in cost savings by using CATIA. Improving efficiency in architecture can be translated into how much architects can save their client’s money. In this sense, Walt Disney Concert Hall was a successful project.
Benefit by Improving Performance in Entire Design Process Using Digital Technology
Before digital tool was widely used in architecture field, architects had to redraw all plans, sections, and perspectives based on the new decision. But the dynamic diagram modeling using digital technology enabled architects to make corrections within 5 seconds. Ben Van Berkel’s work show how digital technology expanded architect’s imagination which turn into improve performance. He uses diagram as a visualization tool of specific location with variable of climate, budget, construction process, and activities. He also uses diagram for deep planning by scan a site for its flow analysis.

From Ben Van Berkel’s pier in Genoa, Italy, we can learn how he used and applied digital technology. It was a restructuring project of 23,000 sq.meter harbor pier in Genoa. Designing transportation interchange requires high tech simulations since it has multi public functions such as shops, cinema, cafeteria, restaurant, offices and so forth. Ben Van Berkel started with abstract diagram to design . The diagram was a useful tool to map of how design would work based on the data input. He also scan a site for its flow analysis to find out potential problems. Ben Van Berkel improved performance of entire building design process by generating diagram through digital modeling process to final construction.
Conclusion
Architects can reduce entire project cost, improve productivity. Frank Gehry’s example clearly demonstrate how architects can improve efficiency in projects by using digital technology as a designing tool. Ben Van Berkel's Ponte Parodi at Genova, Italy was a great example how performance of design and construction process was improved using digital technology. Architecture is not solely done by architect him or herself. It requires harmony of techniques and creativities. If it were not for digital technology, architects would spent more money and time. In conclusion, digital technology must be keep focused on for the benefit of architects.

Introduction
Digital technology in architecture is nothing new. Architects have been applied digital technology as an assistive tool that would enhance the practice of architecture for decades. Each process of drawing, creating diagram, modeling, performance simulation, construction management and building fabrication are now performed using computer based technology. By means of improving efficiency and performance in entire process of design building and construction, digital technology should be focused on.
First, architects can improve efficiency in designing by using digital technology. Frank Gehry’s Disney Concert Hall is an example of how he was able to eliminate time consuming process by using CATIA(Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) as a 3D modeling software. CATIA is a software which allow architects to simulate all the design process. Second, digital technology enables architects to enhance performance. For instance, visualization tool which deal with 3 dimensional space made it possible to create amorphoused building like Ponte Parodi in Genoa Italy by Ben Van Berkel. This paper discusses how architects improves efficiency and performance in design process using digital technology.

Introduction
Digital technology in architecture is nothing new. Architects have been applied digital technology as an assistive tool that would enhance the practice of architecture for decades. Drawing, creating diagram, modeling, performance simulation, construction management and building fabrication are now performed using computer based technology. There are two main reasons why using digital techniques as a designing tool in architecture are very important and should be focused on. First, by using digital technology, architects can be more productive and cost-effective. For instance in Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall, he was able to eliminate time consuming labor in what? process by using Computer Aided Tech (CATIA), a software program….. Second, digital technology enables architects to have new ways of thinking that would not be possible otherwise.

(Three?? I don’t know how many, but it would be a good idea to be specific.) Benefits of Using Digital Techniques in (designing??or any verbing ) Modern Architecture and Trend
Introduction
Digital technology has been developed during the last decades and architects have been applied computer technology as an assistive tool. However(awkward, check ‘transitional expressions on the Internet.) digital technology became decisive tool for drawing, creating diagram, modeling, performance simulation, construction management and building fabrication. Nowadays, the numbers of architects who use digital techniques are increasing.
Even though (Hey, Q! do you really want to start any sentence with these expressions? Too much using them is not helpful!) digital technology in architecture is nothing new, there are two reasons why we should keep focusing on this new technique. First, using digital technology, architects can be more productive and cost-effective. Second, digital technology enables architects to have new ways of thinking. There are two architects who accepted digital technologies in their works and built one of the most important and innovative buildings in contemporary architecture. They are (delete these) Frank Gehry and Ben Van Berkel. Frank Gehry’s work show how architect can improve efficiency in comparison with Antonio Gaudi. The other person is Ben Van Berkel who can show the new way of thinking such as how architects develop their concept in progress. (So, what will you do to develop this theme? Provide a guide to your paper.)(Q, you need to work on this introduction. I came back to this intro after I read the body parts of this paper and found why this paper is not clear. You mention two benefits from using technology and introduce two architects. But you start off discussing specific buildings. What are the main foci? The benefits or the two architects? What are you doing to connect these two themes? You need to make them closely interrelated. )

Sagrada Family church by Anotonio Gaudi has similarity with Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney concert hall in a sense of amorphous surface shape. There was no digital technology to express his idea at that time and it was hard to make constructors to understand his design. The construction of this church was began in 1882 and last until he died in 1926. The project is still continuing based on Gaudi’s original plan and study. It has taken more than 100 years to finish this project due to the lack of information such as drawings, models and perspectives which can help other people to understand (Mary Ann Sullivan, 2001). (Q: What is the point? I am lost to follow the ideas in this paragraph. What is the thesis? Or Main idea? Try to write down that specific idea in the first or second sentence of this paragraph.)
In contrast to Gaudi’s Sagrade Family church, Frank Gehry adopted CATIA(Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) in Walt Disney Concert Hall project. . The Walt Disney Concert Hall is not only a landmark in downtown California but also a good example of computer based approach. CATIA (Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) is a computer program originally developed in France by the Dassault Systems aviation company to design Mirage Jet Fighters(Michael Webb,2003) (APA style). It gives the digitized information to software that can be used to draw, engineer, and construct the building. CATIA also helped constructors to assemble each different shaped panel in right place. It has shorten architect’s response time to the modification request of original design by clients using existing digitized data. (OK, Q, this would be one main discussion about the benefits from using technology. How about this if you divide your paper into two: in the first part, you will discuss the benefits first, and in the second part, you will use two examples.) The data was accessible to everyone in easy format to understand. By using CATIA, Gehry was able to create the building in unique style what Walt Disney Company want. Improving efficiency in architecture can be translated into how much architects can save their client’s money. In this sense, Walt Disney Concert Hall was a successful project.
According to Jean Nouvel in his interview with Jean Baudrillard (2003), There is anything easier than reusing existing data, given the fact that the computer can modify that data so quickly and the system is ready for a new building. In every project, architects receive many feedbacks. Before digital tool was widely used in architecture field, architects had to redraw all plans, sections, and perspectives based on the new decision. They can now modify the data easily and apply changes quickly using digital tools. (Q: as I mentioned earlier in this paper, you combined two different but similar perspectives in this paper, which gets me lost in following your paper. I suggest you to divide the body part into two, the benefits and the examples, or the architects..).
Benefit by Broadening range of Thinking
Digital technology contributed to allow architects to get a broaden perspective in progress. Many of architects tried to create a space in new shape which they’ve never done before. But there was no available tool to make it. As computer software develops, its ability to support architects improves. (sort of wordy, try to make these sentences compact.) Through Ben Van Berkel’s projects, we can learn how he used and applied the digital technology. Ben Van Berkel started with abstract diagram to design. It started with meaningless repetition of lines but it generated new architectural space at the end. Even though the diagram was not a blueprint, it contributed to represent the relationship between idea and form, between content and structure.
conclusion
Architects can reduce the cost and the time of the entire projects by using digital technology. For instance, digital information can be reused by connecting into computer controlled machinery to produce scale models and 3D model can help architects to demonstrate their design to clients. Digital technology allows architects to make a new shape of building which they have dreamed and also helps to better communicate between architects, clients and constructors. (Remember the handouts about writing conclusions. This conclusion looks like the monster in the handout….:( Revise this. In the first part, you will briefly summarize your paper and you also provide your own interpretations based on the research you have done.)

Benefits of Using Digital Techniques in Modern Architecture and Trend
Introduction
Digital technology has been developed during the last decades and architects have been applied computer technology as an assistive tool. However, digital technology became decisive tool for drawing, creating diagram, modeling, performance simulation, construction management and building fabrication. Nowadays, the numbers of architects who use digital techniques are increasing.
Even though digital technology in architecture is nothing new, there are two reasons why we should keep focusing on this new technique. First, using digital technology, architects can be more productive and cost-effective. Second, digital technology enables architects to have new ways of thinking. There are two architects who accepted digital technologies in their works and built one of the most important and innovative buildings in contemporary architecture. They are Frank Gehry and Ben Van Berkel. Frank Gehry’s work show how architect can improve efficiency in comparison with Antonio Gaudi. The other person is Ben Van Berkel who can show the new way of thinking such as how architects develop their concept in progress.
Benefit from computer aided design in terms of improved efficiency
Architects can reduce the cost and the time of the entire projects using digital technology.
Sagrada Family church by Anotonio Gaudi has similarity with Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney concert hall in a sense of amorphous surface shape. There was no digital technology to express his idea and it was hard to make constructors to understand. The construction of this church was began in 1882 and last until he died in 1926. The project is still continuing based on Gaudi’s original plan and study. (© 2001 Mary Ann Sullivan)
In contrast to Gaudi’s Sagrade Family church, Frank Gehry
For instance in production and fabrication process, architects can reuse digital information by importing them directly into computer controlled machinery to produce scale models. The great example is The Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry. The Walt Disney Concert Hall is not only a landmark in downtown California but also a good example of computer based approach. It was a successful project which allowed great satisfaction to Walt Disney Co. In this project, Gehry adopted CATIA (Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application), a computer program originally developed in France by the Dassault Systems aviation company to design Mirage Jet Fighters(Michael Webb,2003). It gives the digitized information to software that could be used to draw, engineer, and construct the building. Thus, Gehry was able to create the building in unique style what Walt Disney Company want.
As Jean Nouvel mentioned in his interview with Jean Baudrillard (2003), There is anything easier than reusing existing data, given the fact that the computer can modify that data so quickly and the system is ready for a new building. In every project, architects receive many feedback and redo many other things. Until architects have digital tools unavailable for architecture, they had to redraw all plans, sections, and perspectives which are related to the new decision. They can now modify the data easily and apply the changes very quickly using digital tools. It save time consuming production process and it means.
New way of Thinking
Digital technology contributed to allow architects to get a broaden perspective in progress. Many of architects tried to create a space in new shape which they’ve never done before. But there was no available tool to make it. As computer software develops, its ability to support architects improves. Through Ben Van Berkel’s projects, we could learn how he used and applied the digital technology. Ben Van Berkel started with abstract diagram to design. It started with meaningless repetition of lines but it generated new architectural space at the end. Even though the diagram was not a blueprint, it contributed to represent the relationship between idea and form, between content and structure.
conclusion
Digital technology allowsarchitects to improve not only time but also cost efficiency. has improved efficiency and realized human desire. Furthermore, A building cannot be constructed just by an architect him/herself. Traditional concept of building has been changed. Its function has changed and also it became a method of representing him or herself. People use building to appeal themselves by making something unique. This is the decisive role in developing and using digital technology. The new computer based approach placed a wing to architects. Many of architects have dreamed of constructing a building from a sketch they have in mind. However, it was not possible due to the lack of technology. Digital technology can allows architecture to make a new shape of building that can give a satisfaction to clients. It also helps to better communicate between architects, clients and constructors.( with others to realize their clients’ dreams.)

I think you can use more examples to support the importance and application of technology in architecture. Besides, it would be better to indicate the resource you cited in your paper, since I didn't know where those references were used in your sentences and paragraphs.

Even though "digital technology" can be difficult theme, yours is easy to read because you explained very well.Plus, in introduction, the explanation of the reason 'why Digital Tech. is needed' was very well organized.However, body of your writing is little confused and not clear. Furthermore, you should remove some personal expression, like "From my personal experience, I strongly agree with what he said."Some readers may not trust your experience.
Well Writing! Good Luck!!!

Hi Q,
I'm really interested is this topic as well, we use these digital techniques all the time. Eventhough you have excellent examples, I would like to see one more well explained and probably some images could help. Figures can help explain this examples much better. I like your conclusion. Looking forward to read this paper later.

Research paper_2nd draft and reflection
Implication of digital techniques in modern architecture and trend (muh better than the last one. Keep thinking one clear title for the paper.)
Digital technology has been developed enormously past 10 years (during the last decade) and it became well known techniques in architectural design.(It is not clear. what do you mean?) However, some people still argue that weather digital technology need or not to design. A (the number of )Number of Architects who use digital techniques are increasing but there are many architects still like design in traditional way. (without technology? what is 'traditional way'?)Then why should we focus on this new technology? There are many reasons why we should keep an eye on this new technique. First, it could save money and time.(by using digital technology, architects can be more productive and cost-effective.) Second, it enables (digital technology enables architects to have )new ways of thinking about the flow of control information and shaping of space. Third, it can make possible architect’s desire into reality. Frank Gehry, Jean Nouvel, and Ben Van Berkel are the architects who use digital technology to better communicate with others to realize their clients’ dreams. (Q, there is a big jump before and this sentence. Why did you suddenly introduce these famous architects? You made me confused about the main focus on this paper. ) (I followed your ideas until I read this sentence.)
The new computer based approach placed a wing to architects. Many of architects have dreamed of constructing a building from a sketch they have in mind. However, it was not possible due to the lack of technology. Since the emergence of computer based approach, they are able to make their dreams come true. Also, they can give satisfaction to their clients who are willing to pay for something new. The Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry is a landmark in downtown California. It was a successful project which allowed great satisfaction to Walt Disney Co. In this project, Gehry adopted CATIA (Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application), a computer program originally developed in France by the Dassault Systems aviation company to design Mirage Jet Fighters. It gives the digitized information to software that could be used to draw, engineer, and construct the building. Thus, he was able to create the building in unique style what his client want.
According to Jean Nouvel, we can save our time and effort using digital tool by improving efficiency. From my personal experience, I strongly agree with what he said. In every project, we receive tons of feedback and redo many other things. Until we have digital tools unavailable for architecture, we had to redraw all plans, sections, and perspectives which are related to the new decision. We can now modify the data easily and apply the changes very quickly using digital tools
Digital technique also changed the traditional fixed form of space shape. Many of architects tried to create a space in new shape which they’ve never done before. But there was no available tool to make it. As computer software develops, its ability to support architects improves. It also broadens the scope of their thinking.
Ben Van Berkel started with abstract diagram to design. It starts with meaningless repetition of lines but it generates new architectural space at the end. Even though the diagram is not a blueprint, it contributes to represent the relationship between idea and form, between content and structure.
Digital technology has improved efficiency and realized human desire. A building cannot be constructed just by an architect him/herself. Traditional concept of building has been changed. Its function has changed and also it became a method of representing him/herself. Thus, for those of who want to appeal themselves tried to make something unique. This is the decisive role in developing and using digital technology.

First, it could save money and time.(by using digital technology, architects can be more productive and cost-effective.) Second, it enables (digital technology enables architects to have )new ways of thinking about the flow of control information and shaping of space. Third, it can make possible architect’s desire into reality. Frank Gehry, Jean Nouvel, and Ben Van Berkel are the architects who use digital technology to better communicate with others to realize their clients’ dreams. (Q, there is a big jump before and this sentence. Why did you suddenly introduce these famous architects? You made me confused about the main focus on this paper. ) (I followed your ideas until I read this sentence.)
The new computer based approach placed a wing to architects. Many of architects have dreamed of constructing a building from a sketch they have in mind. However, it was not possible due to the lack of technology. Since the emergence of computer based approach, they are able to make their dreams come true. Also, they can give satisfaction to their clients who are willing to pay for something new. The Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry is a landmark in downtown California. It was a successful project which allowed great satisfaction to Walt Disney Co. In this project, Gehry adopted CATIA (Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application), a computer program originally developed in France by the Dassault Systems aviation company to design Mirage Jet Fighters. It gives the digitized information to software that could be used to draw, engineer, and construct the building. Thus, he was able to create the building in unique style what his client want.
According to Jean Nouvel, we can save our time and effort using digital tool by improving efficiency. From my personal experience, I strongly agree with what he said. In every project, we receive tons of feedback and redo many other things. Until we have digital tools unavailable for architecture, we had to redraw all plans, sections, and perspectives which are related to the new decision. We can now modify the data easily and apply the changes very quickly using digital tools
Digital technique also changed the traditional fixed form of space shape. Many of architects tried to create a space in new shape which they’ve never done before. But there was no available tool to make it. As computer software develops, its ability to support architects improves. It also broadens the scope of their thinking.
Ben Van Berkel started with abstract diagram to design. It starts with meaningless repetition of lines but it generates new architectural space at the end. Even though the diagram is not a blueprint, it contributes to represent the relationship between idea and form, between content and structure.
Digital technology has improved efficiency and realized human desire. A building cannot be constructed just by an architect him/herself. Traditional concept of building has been changed. Its function has changed and also it became a method of representing him/herself. Thus, for those of who want to appeal themselves tried to make something unique. This is the decisive role in developing and using digital technology.

Why digital technology is so important? – Too broad, think of a better title.
Digital technology has been developed enormously past 10 years and it became well known techniques in architectural design. However, some people still argue that weather digital technology need or not to design. These people still like design in traditional way. Then why should we focus on this new technology? There are many reasons why we should keep an eye on this new technique. First, it could save money and time. Second, it enables new ways of thinking about the flow of control information and shaping of space. Third, it can make possible architect’s desire into reality. I would like to introduce following three architects(provide three names here.) who use this technology and how they communicate with others to realize their clients’ dreams.(needs, Q, so far, the content is clear, but the tone sounds a bit informal. Don’t use “I” which I found in the middle of your paper. Don’t make this FORMAL RESEARCH paper a personal essay.)

According to Jean Nouvel, we can save our time and effort using digital tool by improving efficiency. From my personal experience, I strongly agree with what he said.

Until we have digital tools unavailable for architecture, we had to redraw all plans, sections, and perspectives which are related to the new decision. We can now modify the data easily and apply the changes very quickly using digital tools. (Q, can you get some specific data comparing the cost between traditional design vs. technology-based design? Then you can make your argument stronger. Otherwise, the current paragraph sounds general knowledge, that is, everybody knows it. So “What IS NEW? “thing!)
This (what is this?) new technique changed the traditional fixed form of space shape. Many of architects tried to create a space in new shape which they’ve never done before. But there was no available tool to make it. As computer soft ware develops, its ability to support architects improves. It also broadens the scope of their thinking. (Q: this is not clear.)
Ben Van Berkel started with abstract diagram to design. It starts with meaningless repetition of lines but it generates new architectural space at the end. Even though the diagram is not a blueprint, it contributes to represent the relationship between idea and form, between content and structure.
Consequently, it improves the efficiency and realizes human desire. A building cannot be constructed just by an architect him/herself. Traditional concept of building has been changed. Its function has changed and also it became a method of representing him/herself. Thus, for those of who want to appeal themselves tried to make something unique.

Use your current conclusion as part of your introduction. In a conclusion, you need to provide a brief summary about what you have discussed. Then you will provide your own interpretations about what you have thought, what you have learned, or what you forecast something that will happen in the future.
Let ’ s think about a better organization of your paper. Can you organize it in order of the most significant to the least significant issue? Then your readers will get better ideas on your points.
