Coding, Shaping, Making combines inspiration from architecture,
mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics and computation to look
towards the future of architecture, design and art. It presents
ongoing experiments in the search for fundamental principles of
form and form-making in nature so that we can better inform our own
built environment. In the coming decades, matter will become
encoded with shape information so that it shapes itself, as happens
in biology. Physical objects, shaped by forces as well, will begin
to design themselves based on information encoded in matter they
are made of. This knowledge will be scaled and trickled up to
architecture. Consequently, architecture will begin to design
itself and the role of the architect will need redefining. This
heavily illustrated book highlights Haresh Lalvani's efforts
towards this speculative future through experiments in form and
form-making, including his work in developing a new approach to
shape-coding, exploring higher-dimensional geometry for designing
physical structures and organizing form in higher-dimensional
diagrams. Taking an in-depth look at Lalvani's pioneering
experiments of mass customization in industrial products in
architecture, combined with his idea of a form continuum, this book
argues for the need for integration of coding, shaping and making
in future technologies into one seamless process. Drawing together
decades of research, this book will be a thought-provoking read for
architecture professionals and students, especially those
interested in the future of the discipline as it relates to
mathematics, science, technology and art. It will also interest
those in the latter fields for its broader implications.
