Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the USA the generation of 30-40 year old architects has a number of remarkable achievements to show for itself. Although this generation encompasses a broad spectrum of architectural genres, it is clear that there is one common factor which differentiates them from the previous generation: they were literally born with the computer. This book reports on how this new tool has influenced and affected the quality of designing, looking at the most interesting protagonists of the electronic generation together with their most important projects. The authors live in New York and are themselves active in this field
Download or read book Hyperbodies written by Kas Oosterhuis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyperbodies are buildings and environments which can continuously change shape and content. The mutations of such buildings depend on the input coming from their user as well as from the surroundings. This interaction between user and building is determined by a data flow which the hyperbody uses and converts into a "hypersurface" structure, which then alters our perception of space in and around the hyperbody. The architect programs this interaction and can thereby define the specific character of the building. In this book, the author provides a concise overview of this latest digital tool. Kaas Oosterhuis is Professor at the Technical University Delft and is a well-known Dutch architect.

Book Synopsis The Architecture of Intelligence by : Derrick De Kerckhove
Download or read book The Architecture of Intelligence written by Derrick De Kerckhove and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A refreshingly unconventional look at architecture and the World Wide Web. Using Vitruvius' classical text De Arquitectura as a starting point, De Kerckhove begins a journey into the exciting world of the Internet. On the one hand he explores the architecture of this revolutionary medium, on the other, he considers the wide-ranging opportunities which the IT world offers for architectonic design, revealing how this new medium for communication is as much based on tradition as on innovation. Derrick de Kerckhove is the Director of the McLuhan Institute and Professor at the University of Toronto. His research into the effects of innovative technology on human communication, of new media on traditional culture have gained worldwide recognition.
Download or read book New Flatness written by Alicia Imperiale and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent architecture theory and practise there has been a tendency to refer to exteriors as a skin concealing an interior, as opposed to the traditional and more physical concepts of surface, flatness, and depth. The computer now enables the architect to call his design into life, free from the rigid material form, and view it as a flexible and interactive creation. In this book, the concepts of flatness and surface tension are examined in the light of virtual design and built reality. A selection of projects are presented to show how the architects regard space and surfaces in modern architectural practice in a digital age.
Author :Maria Luisa Palumbo Publisher :Springer Science & Business Media ISBN 13 :9783764362942 Total Pages :100 pages Book Rating :4.3/5 (629 download)
Download or read book New Wombs written by Maria Luisa Palumbo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sense of harmony and proportion has traditionally been achieved in architectural compositions by using the dimensions of the human body as the starting point. Modern technology now enables us to go beyond these physical dimensions into a virtual world, and this poses a challenge to architecture as we usually perceive it. Interactive, flexible and intelligent models are being called for. Whilst technology is taking us into the realms of virtual reality, architecture on the other hand, is becoming more corporeal. "Postorganic" is the term being used to express this merging of the body and architecture brought about by electronic media. A radical change in perspective is blurring the distinction between the organic and mechanic, and the artificial logic of the computer and the natural logic of man are fusing together

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design in the area of architecture is essentially an act of innovation, continually striving to integrate practical, metaphorical and symbolic features into the designs using the technical means of today, and this is precisely where the computer can provide fascinating new potential to create a narrative space.
Download or read book Virtual Terragni written by Mirko Galli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally architectural models were static creations but now through CAAD, models can be created which are dynamic and easily manipulated. This book shows how the electronic medium can be used to critically reconstruct unbuilt projects, looking in particular at projects by the famous Italian rationalist, Giuseppe Terragni. Four villas and several monument buildings are visually represented, their structures and functions examined and assessed using CAAD.
Book Synopsis Aesthetics of Total Serialism by : Markus Bandur
Download or read book Aesthetics of Total Serialism written by Markus Bandur and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total serialism as a concept, has progressed beyond the twelve-tone technique of composers Schoenberg and Webern, and since the 1950s it has been constantly developed. Today, it refers to far more than just a technical process for composing, rather it offers one possibility of creatively integrating knowledge on man and nature into works of art. On all levels of artificial, man-made creations - from musical compositions to architectonic designs - it allows properties and dimensions to be systematically organised, with criteria such as mass and proportions playing decisive roles. Markus Bandur (born in 1960) studied science of music, philosophy and history and now teaches at the universities of Freiburg i.Br, Berne and Kassel

Download or read book New Scapes written by Paola Gregory and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the famous competition for the Park La Villette in Paris where the participants included Bernard Tschumi, Peter Eisenman and Gilles Deleuze, the relationship between building and landscape has been dramatically transformed. Concepts such as metamorphosis and interaction, layers and fields are becoming as much a part of architectonic discourse as the practical designs and the realization. Author Paola Gregory examines this interplay between buildings and landscapes present in today ́s architecture scene, illustrating her analysis with exciting examples including the ecological landscapes of James Wines and Greg Lynn, the virtual environments of Marcos Novak and Nox, buildings by Jean Nouvel and Toyo Ito which actively incorporate passers-by and surroundings by means of new media.
