Description: By comparing the adaptations of machine and network in works of late-modernism, this study's scope is to evince the significance of archetypes throughout design. Archetypes act as schematic visualizations showing the relations among the units involved, as much as they are disassociated from the restraints of form. They may be interpreted variously as they may also be modified even be combined with other archetypes too, and so they are inherently ingrained with the potential for space adaptation. There is a renewed interest on archetypes nowadays, primarily benefiting from the capabilities of the digital means of production in regards to computation, parametric manipulation and dynamic transformation. A complete reevaluation of the design process would reflect the idea that architecture holds information codified and at once retrievable, as for this reason it remains open to transformation according to each time's set priorities.
