This book examines the manifestations of architecture, cities, and
design processes within digital culture. Adopting a comparative and
critical method, the author looks at past and present encounters of
the digital with architectural discourse and practice. Along three
central themes - machines, networks, and computation - the book
begins by discussing transformations of the analogy between
architecture and the machine since the early twentieth century,
foregrounding questions about the relations between architecture,
humans, machines, and the environment. It moves on to the city, to
observe how big data and smart city sustainable management systems
have transformed historical visions of global networked cities.
Lastly, it explores computational design thinking historically and
in the context of complex systems, as well as the latest technical,
social, and economic developments. Exposing possible drawbacks
while still focusing on what is radically innovative, this book
proposes a way toward more liberating, digital, and sustainable
futures for architecture. An important read for architecture
students, academics, and professionals, this book connects
instances of digital architecture practice and discourse throughout
the history of the digital culture paradigm and their ties with
sociopolitical developments. It shares the possibility that these
connecting lines may be the canvas for a novel architectural
history of the recent past.
Architecture and Adaptation discusses architectural projects that
use computational technology to adapt to changing conditions and
human needs. Topics include kinetic and transformable structures,
digitally driven building parts, interactive installations,
intelligent environments, early precedents and their historical
context, socio-cultural aspects of adaptive architecture, the
history and theory of artificial life, the theory of human-computer
interaction, tangible computing, and the social studies of
technology. Author Socrates Yiannoudes proposes tools and
frameworks for researchers to evaluate examples and tendencies in
adaptive architecture. Illustrated with more than 50 black and
white images.
