The current trend for constructing experimental structures is now an international phenomenon. It has been taken up worldwide by design professionals, researchers, educators and students alike. There exist, however, distinct and significant tendencies within this development that require further investigation. This issue of AD takes on this task by examining one of the most promising trajectories in this area, the rise of intensely local archi...

The Space Reader provides a highly pertinent and contemporary understanding of space for a new generation of students and architects. It espouses a definition of space that is heterogeneous (an object or system consisting of a diverse range of different items). An example of heterogeneous space, for instance, is Manhattan where complex and multiple social and technological conditions are overlaid. (This is to be contrasted with highly centrali...

Mit der Voice over IP- Technologie (VoIP) hat sich eine Innovation herausgebildet, die das Potenzial hat, das leitungsvermittelnde Telefonnetz vollständig zu substituieren. Die Technik ist ausgereift, kosteneffizient und nahezu weltweit verfügbar. Die Diffusion der Innovation ist aus praktischer und wissenschaftlicher Sicht ein interessantes Phänomen des Technologiewandels. Michael Hensel und Jan Wirsam analysieren und bewerten unterschiedlic...

This book offers an innovative and highly practical approach to architectural design. Focusing on the concept of performance that brought about a paradigm shift in the humanities in earlier decades, the book discusses how to use this concept to address ongoing problems in architecture. It explores the meaning of performance in the context of the built environment, design processes, sustainable architecture, spatial organization, and other aspe...

All eyes are currently on Turkey with Istanbul's status as European Capital of Culture 2010. It makes it a pertinent moment to take stock and to look at Turkey's past, present and future, bringing the nation's cultural renaissance and evolution to the fore internationally. Since the early 2000s, Turkey has undergone a remarkable economic recovery, which has been accompanied by urban development and a cultural flowering. Positioned between an e...

With an abundance of built and un-built key projects available, it is now possible to outline the contours of a new discourse. This book initiates a new beginning in this direction so that architecture can truly partake in the creation of heterogeneous space and culturally, socially and environmentally sustainable built environments.

This third AD by the guest-editors of the highly successful Emergence and techniques and technologies in Morphogenetic Design titles shifts the morpho-ecological design project into the realm of performance. Whereas the dictionary definition of performance -to 'carry out an action' or 'to fulfill a task' - invokes a tired utilitarian debate, Hensel and Menges inject the meaning of the word 'performance' with an entirely new life. In this conte...

The Changing Shape of Practice provides a handbook of examples for practices that wish to integrate more research into their work and a reference book for students that seek to prepare themselves for the changing shape of practice in architecture.

Worldwide it is becoming increasingly clear that different modes of research are emerging that are triggered more or less directly by the need to renovate architectural practice. One significant prevailing mode is what has come to be known as `research by design¿. This book delivers an overview of this domain. Bringing together a range of leading architects, architectural theorists, and designers, the book presents a diversity of specific appr...

Emergence ist ein wichtiges neues Konzept für die Bereiche künstliche Intelligenz, Informationstheorie, Digitaltechnologie, Volkswirtschaft, Klimastudien, Werkstoffkunde und Biometrietechnik. Diese junge Wissenschaft könnte den Beginn einer neuen Architekturepoche einläuten. Das Buch, herausgegeben von "Architectural Design", bietet einen Überblick über relevante Entwicklungen in den Bereichen künstliche Intelligenz und "Evolutionary Computat...
