Abstract

Recently architects and archivists started to consider solutions for the digitization of architectural records and conservation of born-digital files. Documenting, organizing, cataloguing, archiving, preserving and accessing files are essential tasks to preserve architects’ digital records. With the increasing quantity of algorithmic design another aspect of the digital design must be on architects’ agenda: the memory of the design process. This paper emphasises the importance of preserving digital architecture records in accessible and sustainable formats for the generations to come. This paper demonstrates a strategy to document visual programming algorithm files allowing to archive, study, interpret or replicate them.
