Animation is not Motion

Animation is evolution of form and its shaping forces which characterized by

animalism, growth, actuation vitality, basically it is stated in its structure.

Motion is movement and action.

In Animate Form by Greg Lynn, architecture are described as follow:

• The traditional notion (sequential operations represented by colors, alignment,

imprints, addition, substraction)) of architecture based on permanence, its desire
for timelessness, formal purity and autonomy;

• With the use of model organization that are inert won’t threaten the architecture
essence, but rather it will advance it or developed toward dynamic organization;

• With the advent of software and technology architecture on 21st century could
be conceived as a force and motion rather than as neutral vacuum

• The invisible forces (wind pressure, climate, sun diagram, etc) can be formed or
considered in architectural design to contextual specificity;

In Animate Form by Greg Lynn, architecture are described as follow:

• Stasis is described in permanence, usefulness, typology, procession, verticality

which appears as an obsolete operation, but in 21st century architecture is
mobilized within time and force which offers the range of potentials;

•The
The history theories of gravity are extremely nuanced, fascinating, and
unresolved, in more complex concept of gravity mutual attraction generates
motion;

•Descartes
Descartes eliminated time and force from a steady state equation but G.W.
Leibniz examined temporal continuity component;

•Currently
Currently advanced motion tools and new diagrams based on the computer
involves mathematical descriptions, for instance, architects has to draw
geometries whose underlying mathematics is calculus, the involvement of time
and motion of techniques is not mere a visual phenomenon but rather to
understand geometry in terms of style;

• The most obvious aesthetic shift from volumes defined by Cartesian coordinates
to topological surfaces defined by U and V coordinates which allow to deform and
transform in a flexible surfaces as expression of mathematics of the topological
medium;

• Computer is not the brain nor nature, but it is a pet (tool for human intuition to
developed) and also a tool to make conceptual and organizational model and
generative medium for design, for instance, the genetic, rule-based,
rule
computational;

• First principle of topological entities is they are not composed of discrete points
but rather they are composed of a continuous stream of relative values,
topological surface defined as a flow that hangs from fixed points that are
weighted, but it is not the same with baroque geometries retain multiple spatial
centers;

•The
The term ‘deformation’ can be understood as system of regulation and order that
proceeds through integration of forces and fields;

• Splines are the constituent element of topological landscapes, which store force
and generated store energy in the form;

Animate Form
In Animate Form by Greg Lynn, architecture are described as follow:

• Possibility of animate field allows more intricate relationship of form and field,
also between force and object which is stores that force in its form ;

• Bergson argued that matter couldn’t be separated from its historical process of
its becoming;

• Motion and time are similarly taken away than added back to architecture;

• The term abstraction is not modern notion of visual abstraction but rather
evolutionary, involves proliferation, expansion, and unfolding;

Conclusion

• The abstract technical statement yet to become concrete that topologies,

animation, and parameter based modeling are being explored here;

• The availability of computer aided design techniques presents the

architecture discipline and both retool and rethink itself;

• Due to the proliferation of topological shapes and CAD tools these

technologies are animate.
