Design for Value Flexibility
- 1. Design for Value Flexibility March 15, 2018 Pieter E. Vermaas Philosophy, Delft University of Technology
- 2. The four issues in design for values 1. value operationalization 2. value assessment 3. value dynamics 4. value conflict
- 3. Design for values problematic in architecture 1. value operationalization 2. value assessment 3. value dynamics 4. value conflict Buildings and urban infrastructure have long life cycles Values and their meaning change over time Even if architecture can design for current values, the buildings and infrastructure need not meet future values
- 5. Architecture should then be renewed
- 6. Solutions to value dynamics Demolishment: architecture with shorter life cycles Visionary: architecture for the predicted future values Refurbishment: architecture with value flexibility
- 7. Solutions to value dynamics Demolishment: architecture with shorter life cycles Visionary: architecture for the predicted future values Refurbishment: architecture with value flexibility Adding to housing shape grammar systems for refurbishment
- 8. Rabo de Bacalhau apartments in Lisbon Mid 20th century apartments designed for the lifestyle of that time
- 9. Rabo de Bacalhau transformation grammar A shape grammar that with an existing floorplan, and new requirements gives a new floorplan meeting these requirements

- 11. Rabo de Bacalhau transformation grammar In terms of values: a design tool for customisation that allows inhabitants to adjust their apartments to their values realises inhabitants autonomy violates the architects authority
- 12. Solution to value dynamics: values flexibility Demolishment: architecture with shorter life cycles Visionary: architecture for the predicted future values Refurbishment: architecture with value flexibility Design for values with customisation: architects can design housing for current values and give inhabitants the means to adjusting housing to future values
