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.

Summary:
The digital turn in architecture has gone through several stages and phases, and Architectural Design (AD) has captured them all. This anthology of AD's most salient articles is chronologically and thematically arranged to provide a complete historical timeline of the rise to pre-eminence of computer-based design and production. A pedagogical and research tool, this synopsis also relates the present state of digitality in architecture to the history and theory of its recent development and trends.

Summary:
Advances in Architectural Geometry is a symposium presenting both theoretical and practical work linked to new geometric developments applicable to architecture. This symposium aims to gather the diverse components of contemporary architectural trends which push the building envelope towards free form, and which respond to these design challenges with a renewed mathematical rigor. A research section of 26 papers is preceded by an interview with Frédéric Migayrou (Deputy director of the Musée National d’Art Moderne, Centre de Création Industrielle – Pompidou Centre), where he explores the larger context of free-form architecture with respect to contemporary architectural design and the last two centuries of structural engineering.

Summary:
The assimilation and synthesis of digital communications among architects, engineers, fabricators and builders is dramatically altering how we work and our relationship to the tools we use. New digital capacities are restructuring the organization and hierarchy of design from autonomous processes to collective workflows. The historical role of the designer as an author, a sole creator, is being replaced with semi-autonomous, algorithmically driven design workflows deeply embedded in a collective digital communication infrastructure. This is creating a number of pressures on the discipline of architecture to reorganize around the opportunities, and risks, of these changes.

Summary:
Taking account of new developments such as Facebook and the iPhone, Charlie Gere charts in detail the history of digital culture, as marked by responses to digital technology in art, music, design, film, literature and other areas. After tracing the historical development of digital culture, Gere argues that it is actually neither radically new nor technologically driven: digital culture has its roots in the eighteenth century and the digital mediascape we swim in today was originally inspired by informational needs arising from industrial capitalism, contemporary warfare and counter-cultural experimentation, among other social changes.

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.
