Architectural Structure and Design

Rather than boosting design creativity, the mechanism we introduce in this book proves to accompany architects strolling through the maze of architecture improving the creation of architecture similarly to how nature creates itself.

Innovative design depends to an increasing degree on interdisciplinary cooperation between architects, engineers, and the construction industry. This book surveys the collaborative scene in today's architectural workflows and presents various projects and theoretical positions for discussion.

The building physics and comfort-relevant properties of gypsum drywall construction make it a particularly sustainable and versatile construction method. The book links the great architectural and sculptural potential of this building method with its construction requirements.

An important and fascinating collection of original projects by unique thinkers in the world of architecture and spatial design

How we live and understand architecture is being transformed by new technologies. Flows of data will inform our future behaviours in physical, virtual and hybrid-reality situations, and architecture and cities are being reinvented as not merely static structures, but places that pulse.

By examining the studios and studio-houses used by British artists between 1900 and 1940, this book reveals the ways in which artists used architecture - occupying and adapting Victorian studios and commissioning new ones - and, in doing so, shows them coming to terms with the past, and in the process, inventing different modes of being modern.

Through essays on some of the world's greatest artists and thinkers and in-depth analysis of over forty manuscripts and books, 'Thinking 3D' tells the story of the development of the techniques used to communicate three-dimensional forms on the two-dimensional page and contemporary media.
