Abstract

This article attempts to expose the contradictions between the rationalist arguments and formal arbitrariness observed today in the use of digital technologies in contemporary architecture. At the same time, it seeks to recognize the value of the subjective, arbitrary and not-quantifiable aspects in design decision-making.
