Summary:
Machines, automats, and robots have always exerted a special fascination on artists. Yet computers, digitisation, and the Internet have given this attraction entirely new impulses. Moreover, developments in artificial intelligence and robotics are of critical importance today. The fifth volume of this series provides insights into current research topics and investigates their artistic potential and possible issues. It contains illustrations and a detailed glossary of significant terms, in addition to contributions by Raffaello D'Andrea, Andreas Broeckmann, Roland Fischer, Martina Kammermann, Bruno Spoerri, Philipp Theisohn, Mads Pankow, and Roland Wetzel.

Summary:
Although 3D printing promises a revolution in many industries, primarily industrial manufacturing, nowhere are the possibilities greater than in the field of product design and modular architecture. Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello, of the cutting-edge San Francisco Bay Area-based design firm Emerging Objects, have developed remarkable techniques for "printing" from a wide variety of powders, including sawdust, clay, cement, rubber, concrete, salt, and even coffee grounds, opening an entire realm of material, phenomenological, and ecological possibilities to designers. In addition to case studies and illustrations of their own work, Rael and San Fratello offer guidance for sourcing alternative materials, specific recipes for mixing compounds, and step-by-step instructions for conducting bench tests and setting parameters for material testing, to help readers understand the process of developing powder-based materials and their unique qualities.

Summary:
Architecture is immersed in an immense cultural experiment called imaging. ?Yet the technical status and nature of that imaging must be reevaluated. What happens to the architectural mind when it stops pretending that electronic images of drawings made by computers are drawings? When it finally admits that imaging is not drawing, but is instead something that has already(...)

Summary:
Today's explosive developments in digital technology have also affected architecture and the urban landscape. The new possibilities opened up by digital simulation have led to an increasingly strategic approach to planning, an approach based on generating scenarios, which thus represents a radical departure from traditional planning. From the preliminary sketch all the way to the production of individual building components, digital tools offer new possibilities that were still inconceivable just a few years ago. This volume provides a profound introduction to the important role of digital technologies in architectural design and related fields. In four chapters, the author systematically examines the influence of digital culture on architecture but also on the urban landscape as well as product design. The relationship of digital architecture to the city is also an important focus.

Le spectaculaire développement des techniques numériques a eu un impact direct sur l’architecture et la ville. La conception assistée par ordinateur et le développement de la simulation numérique ont permis l’émergence de formes nouvelles en même temps qu’elles ont accentué la composante stratégique du projet d’architecture et d’urbanisme. De l’esquisse préliminaire à la production de composants préfabriqués, les outils numériques offrent des possibilités qui étaient encore inconcevables il y a quelques années. Ces possibilités soulèvent également de nombreuses questions concernant les défi s qui attendent la discipline architecturale.

Summary:
Hovestadt's Institute for Computer-Aided Architectural Design at the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich) is widely regarded as one of the world's most important institutes currently working at the interface between architecture and information technology. As a universal tool, the computer encourages one to think in terms of information structures and systems that span individual fields. This "rethinking" of the nature of architecture is leading to a paradigm shift at the methodological level of design, planning, construction, and economy. After a decade of experimentation, it has now become possible to see information technology for architecture as the basis for a new and energy-saving practical approach to building.

Summary:
La science fiction, dans sa version littéraire ou cinématographique, a depuis longtemps alimenté les visions technologiques en mettant en scène toutes sortes d'objets "futuristes". Voiture volantes, vaisseaux spatiaux, stations orbitales et autres robots humanoïdes ont ainsi formé l'ossature de bien des récits. Pour autant, ces artefacts emblématiques semblent absents de notre vie de tous les jours, comme si l'avenir décrit depuis une soixantaine d'années était sans cesse repoussé. Ce qui n'empêche pas certains de continuer à répéter ces mêmes mythes comme victimes d'une panne imaginaire. Doit-on se cantonner à ces visions du futur ? Des imaginaires alternatifs ne sont-ils pas en cours de construction ? Est-ce que cet avenir technologique n'est pas advenu autrement ? Cet ouvrage aborde ces différentes questions et montre comment d'autres champs que la science-fiction explorent des futurs possibles.

Summary:
Ce livre donne la parole à des architectes, artistes, paysagistes et théoriciens de l'art qui ont expérimenté la possibilité de rencontres et croisements entre cinéma, arts technologiques et architecture. Comment, dans la porosité des arts, les arts technologiques et le cinéma peuvent-ils transformer le projet territorial en un processus pluriscalaire indissociable de la société dont il émane et à laquelle il s'adresse? Comment la pensée des territoires peut-elle participer au renouvellement des arts technologiques ? Les enjeux politiques et écologiques des territoires nous forcent à inventer des stratégies de projets originales pour susciter de nouveaux imaginaires, tout en travaillant au plus près de la vie et du réel.
