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.

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?
