Today, with the advent of digital media technologies and the
ability to conceptualize, express and produce complex forms using
digital means, the question of the status of the architectural form
is once again under consideration. Indeed, the computer "liberated
architecture from the tyranny of the right angle and enabled the
design and production of non-standard buildings, based on irregular
geometry.
Yet, the questions concerning the method of form expression in
contemporary architecture, and its meaning, remain very much open.
Performalism takes up this discussion, defines it and presents
changes in form conception in architecture, followed by their
repercussions.
The book is supported by a wealth of case studies from some of
the top firms across the globe and contributed to by some of the
top names in this field. With a unique and insightful emphasis on
professional practice this is essential reading for all architects,
aspiring and practicing.
