Abstract

The Media house project is the fruit of a strategic alliance between the Metapolis Group from Barcelona, the MIT Media Lab and the Fundació Politècnica de Catalunya, with the collaboration of the consortium I2CAT and the Elisava Design School in order to build a prototype of an informational house. This project enables the testing of the progression of information technologies beyond that of computers and integrates them into everyday life, literally looking to build computers from the components of buildings, in such a way, that the logical intelligence of a structure can grow with its physical form.

Abstract

Im Zuge der rasanten Entwicklungen in der Informationstechnologie werden neue Umgebungen geschaffen, die sowohl die Architektur selbst als auch Rolle und Aufgaben der Architekten maßgeblich verändern werden. Architektur kann mit den bekannten Begriffen nicht mehr beschrieben werden kann, weil sie nicht mehr der Form entspricht, die wir kennen: als eine klar abgegrenzte und ein- und ausschließende Architektur mit einem Innen und einem Außen. Die zukünftige Herausforderung für Architekten wird somit zunehmend auch darin bestehen, mit hybriden Umgebungen kreativ umzugehen, das gestalterische Potential digitaler Räume innerhalb der physischen Umwelt zu erfassen und die Rolle für die Architektur innerhalb einer visuell dominierten Kultur neu zu definieren. Peter Weibel ist Vorstand des Zentrums für Kunst und Medientechnologie (ZKM) in Karlsruhe. Georg Flachbart arbeitet als Video- und Kommunikationsdesigner. Er ist Mitbegründer der mind(21)factory for Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Design in Stuttgart/Frankfurt a.M./Berlin. The creation of new environments through the use of developments in Information Technology is significantly altering not only architecture itself but also the roles and tasks of the architects. Architecture can no longer be described in the terms we are familiar with since it no longer corresponds to the form of architecture as we know it: an inclusive and exclusive structure, clearly defined, with a single interior and a single exterior. For architects, the challenge of the future will increasingly lie in creatively coming to terms with hybrid environments, understanding and exploiting the design potential of digital spaces within the physical world, and redefining the role of architecture within a visually dominated culture. This volume presents a valuable and attractive contribution to the contemporary discussion on this subject.

Abstract

Although 3D printing promises a revolution in many industries, primarily industrial manufacturing, nowhere are the possibilities greater than in the field of product design and modular architecture. Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello, of the cutting-edge San Francisco-based design firm Emerging Objects, have developed remarkable techniques for printing from a wide variety of powders, including sawdust, clay, cement, rubber, concrete, salt, and even coffee grounds, opening an entire realm of material, phenomenological, and ecological possibilities to designers. In addition to case studies and illustrations of their own work, Rael and San Fratello offer guidance for sourcing alternative materials, specific recipes for mixing compounds, and step-by-step instructions for conducting bench tests and setting parameters for material testing, to help readers to understand the process of developing powder-based materials and their unique qualities.Bron: www.standaardboekhandel.be

Abstract

As models and paradigms, patterns have been helping to orient architects since the Middle Ages. But patterns are also the basis of the history of ornament, an aesthetic phenomenon that links all times and cultures at a fundamental level. Ornament - and hence pattern as well - was abolished by the avant-garde in the first half of the twentieth century, but the notion of pattern has taken on new meaning and importance since the 1960's. Complexity research has ultimately shown that even highly complex, dynamic patterns may be based on simple behavioral rules, and that has allowed the notions of pattern and pattern formation to take on new meanings, that are also central for architecture. Today the use of generative computerized methods is opening up new ways of talking about an idea that is becoming increasingly abstract and dynamic. Pattern explores the question: what are the notions of pattern that must be discussed in the context of contemporary architecture? Complex patterns are founded on simple rules. Pattern and pattern formation are of new, important significance as the fundamental principles of systematization and description of very complex processes and phenomena. Which idea of pattern has to be used in the architectural discourse today?

Abstract

The last decade has witnessed a proliferation of artists whose primary medium is software. Algorithmic processes, harnessed through the medium of computer code, allow artists to generate increasingly complex visual forms that they otherwise might not have been able to imagine, let alone delineate. The newest volume in our Design Brief series Form+Code in Design, Art, and Architecture is a non-technical introduction to the history, theory, and practice of software in the arts. Organized into themes linked to aspects of code—repetition, transformation,parameters, visualization, and simulation—each of the book's sections contains an essay, code samples, and numerous illustrations. An accompanying website (www.formandcode.com) features code samples in various programming languages for the examples in the book. An ideal introductory text for digital design and media arts courses, this unique primer will also appeal to students and professionals looking for a survey of this exciting new area of artistic production.

Abstract

Derrière la mutation technologique qui impose une transformation des usages et des pratiques, c'est un changement d'ordre culturel imposant ses modes de pensée et son esthétique auquel il va falloir se confronter. L'informatique n'est plus seulement un outil de communication, ou un nouvel instrument de représentation, mais organise bien l'ensemble du domaine de la production industrielle. L'exposition définit une rupture quicorrespond au changement des logiques de conception et de production de l'architecture.
