Book Description
Beyond Form Finding is an exploratory project focusing on structural resolution for geometric complexities. Geometric expression in architecture is often associated with purely visual aesthetics. By contrast, formal performance should be concerned with the relationship between form and the reasons that inform objects of their shape. Currently, performance in the field of structure, construction, economics, environment, material and other measureable influences are being used as instigators of form. This project is looking for opportunities that allows for this integration by exploring form and structure through parameterization.The proposed project is an investigation of how parametric systems can be a way of building design without sacrificing formal aesthetics. Lamella structures will serve as a structural type that has performative and geometric constraints.Problem : Using structure as an aesthetic application instead of its true purpose. Can logic in arbitrary forms be embedded in its structural resolution?

Handbook of Research on Form and Morphogenesis in Modern Architectural Contexts
Author: D'Uva, Domenico
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1522539948
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 518
Book Description
As architectural designs continue to push boundaries, there is more exploration into the bound shape of architecture within the limits of spaces made for human usability and interaction. The Handbook of Research on Form and Morphogenesis in Modern Architectural Contexts provides emerging research on the process of architectural form-finding as an effort to balance perceptive efficiency with functionality. While highlighting topics such as architectural geometry, reverse modeling, and digital fabrication, this book details the geometric process that forms the shape of a building. This publication is a vital resource for scholars, IT professionals, engineers, architects, and business managers seeking current research on the development and creation of architectural design.

Formal Methods in Architecture and Urbanism, Volume 2
Author: Catarina Ruivo
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527576655
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
This volume contributes to the debate on the application, in the disciplines of architecture and urbanism, of new formal methods and methodological advances based on tools from mathematics. From millennial geometry to current shape grammars, several formal approaches to architecture and urbanism are presented here, in order to look at the potentials and purposes of these formal methods, both those on the horizon and those already accomplished. This book promotes the use of formal methods in the creation of new explicit languages for problem-solving in the field. This collection of papers will help students, academics, researchers, and practitioners developing formal methods towards the digitalization of the architecture and urbanism sector.

Digital Tectonics
Author: Neil Leach
Publisher: Academy Press
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
The old opposition between a digital culture of sensuous, ephemeral images and a tectonic culture of pragmatic building has given way to a new collaboration between the two domains, a 'digital tectonics'. Computer linked fabrication techniques of many kinds have become an integral part of the design process, while new digital tools are allowing engineers and architects to understand in far more detail the behaviour of load carrying surfaces, and to generate new architectural forms. Digital and computer-linked design techniques is one of the hottest topics in architecture and in an ever-expanding world of digital technology this book tackles the practical elements of the field.

Techniques and Technologies in Morphogenetic Design
Author: Michael Hensel
Publisher: Academy Press
ISBN: 9780470015292
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
This issue of AD introduces a new approach to architectural practice based on the interrelationship of emergence and self-organisation concepts. A sequence to the successful Emergence: Morphogenetic Design Strategies title by the same guest-editors, it advances on the previous publication by taking on board the latest developments for fully integrated design evolution, manufacturing and construction. Emergence requires the recognition of architectural structures not as singular and fixed bodies, but as complex energy and material systems that have a lifespan, exist as part of the environment of other active systems, and as an iteration of a series that proceeds by evolutionary development. Thus the focal point of this issue will be the exploration of techniques and technologies that enable the implementation of such morphogenetic strategies, requiring a new set of intellectual and practical skills. Though the publication stands alone as an investigation and presentation of cutting-edge techniques and technologies within the design and construction field supported by examples from adjacent industries, it also introduces a new springboard for understanding and rethinking the radical changes in which architecture is now being conceived, designed and produced. While representing a timely exploration of the embedding of techniques and technology in an alternative design approach, it also presents wholly new strategies for tackling issues of sustainability.

Interpretation in Architecture
Author: Adrian Snodgrass
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134222645
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
Drawing on cultural theory, phenomenology and concepts from Asian art and philosophy, this book reflects on the role of interpretation in the act of architectural creation, bringing an intellectual and scholarly dimension to real-world architectural design practice. For practising architects as well as academic researchers, these essays consider interpretation from three theoretical standpoints or themes: play, edification and otherness. Focusing on these, the book draws together strands of thought informed by the diverse reflections of hermeneutical scholarship, the uses of digital media and studio teaching and practice.
