Digital Poetics celebrates the architectural design exuberance made
possible by new digital modelling techniques and fabrication
technologies. By presenting an unconventional and
originalhumanistic theory of CAD (computer-aided design), the
author suggests that beyond the generation of innovative
engineering forms, digital design has the potential to affect the
wider complex cultural landscape of today in profound ways. The
book is organised around a synthetic and hybrid research
methodology: a contemporary, propositional and theoretical
discursive investigation and a design-led empirical research. Both
methods inform a critical construct that deals with the nature,
forms, and laws of digitality within a contemporary architectural
discourse that affects practice and academia. The chapters spiral
at, from, towards, around, outside-inwards and back inside-out
digitality, its cognitive phenomena, spatial properties and
intrinsic capabilities to achieve, or at least, approach Digital
Poetics. The book presents speculative and small-scale constructed
projects that pioneer techniques and experiments with common 3D and
4D software packages, whereby the focus lies not on the drawing
processes and mechanics, but on the agency and impact the image
(its reading, experience, interpretation) achieves on the reader
and observer. The book also features a preface by Fr ric Migayrou,
a philosopher and curator, and one of the most influential cultural
engineers of the contemporary international architectural scene.
The book is linked to a website, which contains a larger selection
of images of some featured projects.
