The advent of digital not only fosters new possibilities in creation but also in conservation. Architectural preservation evoked in the Modern period, when mimicry, a standard method of creation was paused and the intention to preserve past notations of architecture awakened. Now, what is the future of Modernism in the Digital archive?Digital Modern manifests the revival of this objective with actual tools. Digital proposes a new approach to history and the treatment of the past by keeping all records recallable to the present. Cloud computing proposes timeless history, where previous memory stored in algorithms is available at the level of representation. This essay shows how Modern architectural notations are explicitly inherited by the Computational era and introduce the correlation between typology and digital patterns. The period influenced by the industrial revolution and universal solutions prepared the platform for the current era influenced by the digital revolution.To understand the relationship between the two dominant epochs, this essay relies on the notions of mimicry, rules, models and methods as modes of repetition and creation crosslinked with different stages of technological development in history. This will lead to the understanding how virtual copies create a new chapter in mimesis and provokes a new chronological approach. The research methodology does not follow a linear timeline but builds on simultaneous perspectives of the Digital Modern phenomenon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
