This book contains 24 technical papers presented at the fourth edition of the Advances in Architectural Geometry conference, AAG 2014, held in London, England, September 2014. It offers engineers, mathematicians, designers, and contractors insight into the efficient design, analysis, and manufacture of complex shapes, which will help open up new horizons for architecture. The book examines geometric aspects involved in architectural design, ranging from initial conception to final fabrication. It focuses on four key topics: applied geometry, architecture, computational design, and also practice in the form of case studies. In addition, the book also features algorithms, proposed implementation, experimental results, and illustrations. Overall, the book presents both theoretical and practical work linked to new geometrical developments in architecture. It gathers the diverse components of the contemporary architectural tendencies that push the building envelope towards free form in order to respond to multiple current design challenges. With its introduction of novel computational algorithms and tools, this book will prove an ideal resource to both newcomers to the field as well as advanced practitioners.

Die Auseinandersetzung mit alten Konstruktionsprinzipien führt in Kombination mit der Entwicklung neuer digitaler grafischer Konstruktionsmethoden zu ungewöhnlichen Wegen in der Gestaltung selbsttragender Strukturen. Die Block Research Group der ETH Zürich beschreibt anhand ihres auf der Biennale 2016 in Venedig ausgezeichneten Armadillo Vault Entwicklungsprozesse und Visionen von ressourcenschonenden raffinierten Tragstrukturen ohne Stahl.Grundlegend ist die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit Prinzipien Die Block Research Group ist DETAIL Leserpreisträger 2016. Setting new developments in digital graphic construction methods against the backdrop of time-tested design principles results in extraordinary approaches to the design of self-supporting structures. Using their Armadillo Vault, which was recognised at the Biennale 2016 in Venice, the Block Research Group at ETH Zürich describes their research, development processes and visions of resource-saving, refined and steel-free support structures. Fundamental to their work is an intensive exploration of principles. The Block Research Group is the DETAIL Reader Prize Winner for 2016.
