Architecture plays a communicative role to keep people feel comfortable by expressing the meaning of computational design through the built environment. A variety of cultural values, pragmatic framework for human activity, combination of passive or active design strategies can be expressed through choices in materials, colors, forms, sizes, furnishings, and landscaping for a building.
The advent of High-performance building architecture can influence how people interact with each other through the social ordering of space. This influence can be minimal by using the right blend of design activity and strategies to encourage informal interaction through objects placement in the interior of buildings. For instance, water coolers or at other extreme architecture such as prison which serve to restrict movements of human ability to interact with others, and effectively dominate individuals.
Additionally, architecture can be biased in design innovation and treat certain social groups or values more favorably, particularly in passive design or computational design. We acknowledge that architecture with passive design strategies use ambient energy sources which include day lighting, natural ventilation, and solar energy instead of purchased energy like electricity or natural gas.
On the other hand, architecture with computational design activity driven by the forces that make design possible and necessary in the first place: assessment of needs, assessment of possibilities, assessment of means as they embody people characteristics.
