Abstract

In the 1990s with the weakening of the dichotomy between Modernity and Post-modernity, the participation of other fields of knowledge in the theoretical and practical production of architecture and urbanism significantly increases. Once the discussion concerning landscape in terms of new approaches in the discipline becomes more necessary and relevant to define new developments in the field of architecture, the aim of this study was to analyze the Silodam project, from MVRDV architecture office, to verify the use of Information and Communication Technologies in the design process as well as methodological innovation in developing new building configurations for residential space. We used the method defined as Metric Innovation developed by Henri Achten.
