Design Strategies for Reimagining the City is situated between
projective geometry, optical science and architectural design. It
draws together seemingly unrelated fields in a series of new
digital design tools and techniques underpinned by tested
prototypes. The book reveals how the relationship between
architectural design and the ubiquitous urban camera can be used to
question established structures of control and ownership inherent
within the visual model of the Western canon. Using key moments
from the broad trajectory of historical and contemporary
representational mechanisms and techniques, it describes the
image's impact on city form from the inception of linear
perspective geometry to the digital turn. The discussion draws upon
combined fields of digital geometry, the pictorial adaptation of
human optical cues of colour brightness and shape, and modern
image-capture technology (webcams, mobile phones and UAVs) to
demonstrate how the permeation of contemporary urban space by
digital networks calls for new architectural design tools and
techniques. A series of speculative drawings and architectural
interventions that apply the new design tools and techniques
complete the book. Aimed at researchers, academics and upper-level
students in digital design and theory, it makes a timely
contribution to the ongoing and broadly debated relationship
between representation and architecture.
