The "active image" refers to the operative nature of images, thus
capturing the vast array of "actions" that images perform. This
volume features essays that present a new approach to image theory.
It explores the many ways images become active in architecture and
engineering design processes and how, in the age of computer-based
modeling, images play an indispensable role. The contributors
examine different types of images, be they pictures, sketches,
renderings, maps, plans, and photographs; be they analog or
digital, planar or three-dimensional, ephemeral, realistic or
imaginary. Their essays investigate how images serve as means of
representing, as tools for thinking and reasoning, as ways of
imagining the inexistent, as means of communicating and conveying
information and how images may also perform functions and have an
agency in their own. The essays discuss the role of images from the
perspective of philosophy, theory and history of architecture,
history of science, media theory, cognitive sciences, design
studies, and visual studies, offering a multidisciplinary approach
to imagery and showing the various methodologies and
interpretations in current research. In addition, they offer
valuable insight to better understand how images operate and
function in the arts and sciences in general.
