Summary:
The last decade has witnessed a proliferation of artists whose primary medium is software. Algorithmic processes, harnessed through the medium of computer code, allow artists to generate increasingly complex visual forms that they otherwise might not have been able to imagine, let alone delineate.

In this guidebook for "non-standard architecture," Kas Oosterhuis considers his own practice in the context of recent developments in the field of design and communication technologies. He focuses on two particular paradigm shifts: the movement from architecture based on mass production to architecture based on industrially produced made-to-measure components; and the related transition from a static architecture to a dynamic and interactive architecture.

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:
What is the impact of digital technologies on the design and analysis of cities? For the last 15 years, the profound impact of computer-aided techniques on architecture has been well charted. From the use of standard drafting packages to the more experimental use of generative design tools and parametric modelling, digital technologies have come to play a major role in architectural production. But how are they helping architects and designers to operate at the urban scale? And how might they be changing the way in which we perceive and understand our cities?

Summary:
In the next decade or so, the widespread adoption of robotics is set to transform the construction industry: building techniques will become increasingly automated both on- and off-site, dispensing with manual labour and enabling greater cost and operational efficiencies. What unique opportunities, however, does robotics afford beyond operational effectiveness explicitly for the practice of architecture? What is the potential for the serial production of non-standard elements as well as for varied construction processes? In order to scale up and advance the application of robotics, for both prefabrication and on-site construction, there needs to be an understanding of the different capabilities, and these should be considered right from the start of the design and planning process. This issue of "AD" showcases the findings of the Architecture and Digital Fabrication research module at the ETH Zurich Future Cities Laboratory in Singapore, directed by Fabio Gramazio and Matthias Kohler, which explores the possibilities of robotic construction processes for architecture and their large-scale application to the design and construction of high-rise buildings.

L'une des premières analyses à la fois historiques et théoriques de l'impact de l'avènement du numérique sur toutes formes de productions culturelles, Le langage des nouveaux médias constitue un ouvrage de référence sur le sujet. Fondateur de la discipline des software studies, Manovich y propose une analyse systématique et rigoureuse des mécanismes culturels engendrés par la généralisation de l'informatique, au travers de l'étude de nombreuses œuvres d'art, des avant-gardes historiques aux productions les plus récentes faisant appel aux technologies numériques.
