This book presents new ways of facilitating design thinking,
through the combination of cognitive design strategies and
information technologies. It provides readers with an in-depth
understanding of the traditional and digital design processes and
activities that are employed in architecture, computational design,
communication design and graphic design. The book is divided into
three parts: Part I, which focuses on creativity, uses evidence
derived from empirical studies to develop an understanding of the
way computational environments shape design thinking and may lead
to more inventive outcomes. Part II considers the cognitive
dimensions of design teams, crowds and collectives. It investigates
the ways digital design platforms promote interactive and
collective thinking. Lastly, Part III addresses culture, examining
the linguistic and cultural context of the globalised design
ecosystem. Providing valuable insights into design thinking, this
book helps readers engage with their local and global environments.
It will appeal to academics, researchers and professionals with an
interest in understanding design thinking in the context of
creativity, collaboration and culture.

Modern mechanobiology converges both engineering and medicine to
address personalized medicine. This book is built on the previously
well-received edition, Hemodynamics and Mechanobiology of
Endothelium. The central theme is "omic" approaches to
mechanosignal transduction underlying tissue development, injury,
and repair. A cadre of investigators has contributed to the
chapters, enriching the interface between mechanobiology and
precision medicine for personalized diagnosis and intervention. The
book begins with the fundamental basis of vascular disease in
response to hemodynamic shear stress and then details
cardiovascular development and regeneration, valvular and cardiac
morphogenesis, mechanosensitive microRNA and histone unfolding,
computational fluid dynamics, and light-sheet imaging. This edition
represents a paradigm shift from traditional biomechanics and
signal transduction to transgenic models, including novel zebrafish
and chick embryos, and targets a wider readership from academia to
industry and government agencies in the field of mechanobiology.
This book summarizes the latest studies regarding innovation in
urban design and planning. It shares many tips and insights about
sustainable solutions for the issues facing transport systems,
innovative digital technologies, and ICT trends. The book touches
upon the need to integrate the three fields of Architecture,
Engineering, and Technology that have become indispensable. This is
intended to respond to the increasing human needs and population
growth in cities on one hand and to develop a holistic approach
that helps overcome challenges to sustainability and environment
management on the other hand. With the power of engineering in
practice, problems of design and development once considered too
complex to be dealt with other than empirically, intuitively, or by
trial and error, are now becoming more solvable and applicable.
This book offers strategies and solutions that enable designers to
bring together knowledge in the fields of architecture,
engineering, and technology to overcome challenges facing in modern
times.
Shape grammar and space syntax have been separately developed but
rarely combined in any significant way. The first of these is
typically used to investigate or generate the formal or geometric
properties of architecture, while the second is used to analyze the
spatial, topological, or social properties of architecture. Despite
the reciprocal relationship between form and space in
architecture-it is difficult to conceptualize a completed building
without a sense of both of these properties-the two major
computational theories have been largely developed and applied in
isolation from each another. Grammatical and Syntactical Approaches
in Architecture: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a critical
scholarly resource that explores the relationship between shape
grammar and space syntax for urban planning and architecture and
enables the creative discovery of both the formal and spatial
features of an architectural style or type. This book, furthermore,
presents a new method to selectively capture aspects of both the
grammar and syntax of architecture. Featuring a range of topics
such as mathematical analysis, spatial configuration, and domestic
architecture, this book is essential for architects, policymakers,
urban planners, researchers, academicians, and students.
