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.

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. Form+Code in Design, Art, and Architecture is a non-technical introduction to the history, theory, and practice of software in the arts.

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.

In this volume, Mario Carpo points to one key practice of modernity: the making of identical copies. Carpo highlights two examples of identicality crucial to the shaping of architectural modernity: in the fifteenth century, Leon Battista Alberti's invention of architectural design, according to which a building is an identical copy of the architect's design; and, in the(...)

Summary:
In this volume, Mario Carpo points to one key practice of modernity: the making of identical copies. Carpo highlights two examples of identicality crucial to the shaping of architectural modernity: in the fifteenth century, Leon Battista Alberti's invention of architectural design, according to which a building is an identical copy of the architect's design; and, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the mass production of identical copies from mechanical master models, matrixes, imprints, or molds. The modern power of the identical, Carpo argues, came to an end with the rise of digital technologies. Everything digital is variable. Carpo compares new forms of postindustrial digital craftsmanship to hand-making and the cultures and technologies of variations that existed before the coming of machine-made, identical copies. Carpo reviews the unfolding of digitally based design and construction from the early 1990s to the present, and suggests a new agenda for architecture in an age of variable objects and of generic and participatory authorship.

Summary:
Today’s designers are creating compelling atmospheres and interactive experiences by merging hardware and software with architecture and design. This book is a collection of this innovative work produced where virtual realms meet the real world and where dataflow confronts the human senses. It presents an international spectrum of interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of laboratory, trade show, and urban space that play with the new frontiers of perception, interaction, and staging created by current technology. The work reveals how technology is fundamentally changing and expanding strategies for the targeted use of architecture, art, communication, and design for the future.

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.

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.
