Overcoming Third Dimension
Project Baltia 2010
Arne Riekstins

Long time architects have been tied to their tools – drawing boards, rulers etc. Since the age of digitalization not only the speed of an architects work but also results of his work have changed a lot. We have been overwhelmed with developments in many industrial fields that shows us there are much more aspects that influence architecture as well. I could say, architecture nowadays links to and can be linked to almost anything. The thrill of controlling form and facades in a way computers can do it has become spectacular. Either way, directions to new form-finding, mostly inspired from nature and decoding its processes have been around for almost a century, but only now in recent technological age of digital tools these ideas are being carried out in an unseen and sometimes scandalous ways.
