"Versioning" is an operative term meant to describe a recent, significant shift in the way architects and designers are using technology to expand.
Versioning can be seen as an attitude rather than an ideology. It allows architects to think or practice across multiple disciplines, freely borrowing tactics from film, food, finance, fashion, economics and politics for use in design, or reversing the model and using architectural theory to participate in other problem solving fields.
Versioning implies the shifting of design away from a system of horizontal integration
Versioning relies on the use of recombinant geometries that allow external influences to affect a system without losing the precision of numerical control or the ability to translate these geometries using available construction technology.
Versioning can be characterized by a set of conditions organized into a menu or nomenclature capable of being configured to address particular design criteria.
Another key element of versioning is its ability to question time and its relationship to other cultural process.
Versioning advances the genetic substance of architectural design.
Versioning also extends to methods of practice where nontraditional use of architectural theory is appropriated by other disciplines.
Versioning operates at different scales of practice.
Versioning is instrumental in allowing the practice of architecture and design to return to a vertical organizational structure similar to the master builder of Renaissance.
