A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

This issue of AD introduces a new approach to architecturalpractice based on the interrelationship of emergence andself–organisation concepts. A sequence to the successful Emergence: Morphogenetic Design Strategies title by the sameguest–editors, it advances on the previous publication by taking onboard the latest developments for fully integrated designevolution, manufacturing and construction.

Emergence requires the recognition of architectural structuresnot as singular and fixed bodies, but as complex energy andmaterial systems that have a lifespan, exist as part of theenvironment of other active systems, and as an iteration of aseries that proceeds by evolutionary development. Thus the focalpoint of this issue will be the exploration of techniques andtechnologies that enable the implementation of such morphogeneticstrategies, requiring a new set of intellectual and practicalskills. Though the publication stands alone as an investigation andpresentation of cutting–edge techniques and technologies within thedesign and construction field supported by examples from adjacentindustries, it also introduces a new springboard for understandingand rethinking the radical changes in which architecture is nowbeing conceived, designed and produced. While representing a timelyexploration of the embedding of techniques and technology in analternative design approach, it also presents wholly new strategiesfor tackling issues of sustainability.
