The Making of Things is about effect and intention in the schematic
architectural model, a deep dive into the nature of architectonic
form as the underlying syntax for all architectural work. By
focusing on primitive geometries alongside fundamental principles
of architectural thinking and making, this book enhances the
reader's capacity to intellectually and physically craft models
that effectively communicate intention. With over 650 diagrams,
this book acts as an expansive visual glossary that reveals the
underlying structure of architectonics and acts as an encyclopedia
of formal possibilities. Supporting essays in the book explore the
nature of perception, abstraction, and metaphor to provide a
theoretical basis of formal effects in architecture. This structure
enables readers to make clear and direct connections between the
things you construct and the reasons you construct them. This book
is a bridge from the what to the why of form-making. It is a
pedagogical notebook, a design primer that prompts discourse about
the nature of objects. This is a must-have desk reference for
beginning architecture and interior design students to stimulate
their creative approaches and gain foundational knowledge of the
underlying effects of formal typologies and how they manifest
themselves in built forms around the world.
- An approachable guide to learn parametric modeling through the
lens of architectonics - Covers the rich history, theory and
application of parametrics in design and how it can apply to
construction and fabrication - An expansive visual guide to
parametric modeling using architectonics - Written and expertly
designed for students and professionals
The impact of artificial intelligence in the discipline of
architecture is unavoidable and undeniable. The recent mass
adoption of highly accessible machine learning tools including
DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney has allowed designers to
test their limits and assess their role as an author in the design
of the built environment. This book includes speculations on the
introduction of artificial intelligence bots/apps into architecture
and features a collection of works from 18 architects and designers
who are interrogating current AI applications. Within each chapter,
authors put forth a position through a framework consisting of
theory and application lenses. Additionally, interviews from
leading practitioners will offer insights into the current
curiosities fuelling investigation. This book will incite dialogue
about the potential of AI as an ideation device and extension of
the architect’s authorship. As a part of this work, curation
plays an important role as the technology generates content at an
incredible pace. Architectural design thinking will have to
reconcile the injection of this new tool and this book will
speculate on the current state in its infancy.
