Being in 21 century now, architecture is more free and flexible by computer design. The so-called digital architecture theory involves continued expectations of innovative computer graphic software and new images in the century. On the other hand, I am also considering about if this "conceptual image thinking method" would achieve the aim of "space of folding".
Recently (in the information era), almost everything has been influenced by the information age including the architecture. Since 1963 the fast invention of computer skill which include CAAD, A.I, 3D animation, model making have deeply impact to architecture design. Therefore there are multiple style of images that we can imagine in this digital era. When digital architecture this strong trend power comes, the definition of "digital architecture" still been debate and query. If the architects are satisfied with their "ART" works, do people like to live in the house, which covered by pc and internet? Some architects said "architecture is a liberated form" so the "free from" appears, another architects said "architecture is a container of information" so the "digital wall" appears…
Compared to the traditional architecture the digital architecture use computers or digital systems to help create or design even build, and the digital one use the different types of space environments, the differences are lots of combine information involved in digital design which is totally different than the traditional one. Every era has different technology, now the "digital" and "information" are the peculiarities. Apparently the changes are not only the form of the architecture but also the thoughts and process of design.
"The so-called [smart house] of tomorrow will be characterized not by its architecture, properly speaking, but by small-scale gadgets and the information systems to which they call wired." [1]
Since 1990 the digital technology made the form and space of architectures changed to curved lines or surfaces, so architecture became soft and the space inside became flexible. But when we look at all the forms that we called it "digital" are all free form and smooth. Could "free form" be "HARD" ? Or another types of free form which with lots of straight angles?

Too many possibilities...
