Summary:
digital.material presents four projects developed at CITA (Centre for IT and Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture). The projects - Reef Pattern, Thaw, Lamella Flock and Persistent Model #1 - are the results of CITA’s research practice which investigates how digital tools are changing core relationships between representation and realisation. They collectively demonstrate how digital tools can be employed to create new potentials for architectural thinking across the domains of design, specification, materials, tectonics and fabrication. Essayists reflect, discuss and contextualize the four projects against contemporary architectural design practice, CITA’s broader research practice, and practices of material forming and construction.

Summary:
With today’s digital technology, the image is no longer a stable representation of the world, but a programmable view of a database that is updated in real time. It no longer functions as a political and iconic representation, but plays a vital role in synchronic data-to-data relationships. It is not only part of a program, but it contains its own operating code: the(...)

Summary:
With today’s digital technology, the image is no longer a stable representation of the world, but a programmable view of a database that is updated in real time. It no longer functions as a political and iconic representation, but plays a vital role in synchronic data-to-data relationships. It is not only part of a program, but it contains its own operating code: the image is a program in itself. Softimage aims to account for that new reality, taking readers on a journey that gradually undoes our unthinking reliance on the apparent solidity of the photographic image and building in its place an original and timely theorization of the digital image in all its complexity.

Summary:
Interspace investigates the spatial and social consequences of a data-driven society where personalised information flows produce a multitude of personalised readings of the collective sphere and thus, the role of public space is to be questioned. Accompanied by a new understanding about authorship and new techniques of design, this participatory model calls out for new ways of organising spaces. With regard to the changes that the last substantial structural transformation of the public – web 2.0 – has brought along in architecture, Interspace analyses what has architecture got to do with big data and what is the architects’ role at the time when their expertise is being challenged by digital technologies.

Summary:
Presentation of a series of ground-breaking experiments with topological optimization of architectural structures. Topology optimization – a method widely applied in the aeronautical and automotive industries - may enable material reductions of up to 70 pct. in concrete structures, while generating novel, architectural forms. The realization of such complex structural morphologies however, calls for the development of new digital means of construction. The publication illustrates the development of new experimental, robotic production methods for the fabrication of novel architectural structures, and contextualizes the application of structural optimization as an architectural design strategy through historical examples, spanning from 18th century physics-based methods to contemporary building practices.
