Textile tectonics

Summary:
Until recently, thanks to the unforgiving geometric rigors of modernism, biomorphism in design and architecture was seen a purely decorative feature - as in Art Nouveau, for example.

Summary:
Until recently, thanks to the unforgiving geometric rigors of modernism, biomorphism in design and architecture was seen a purely decorative feature - as in Art Nouveau, for example. This publication turns this idea on its head, offering a glimpse into the future of architectural design, in which the veins of leaves, formations of foam, Celtic knotwork and even hair braiding can be transformed into viable structures through the wonders of digital design technology. For the architect and researcher Lars Spuybroek, such natural, ornamental and folkloristic pattern could entirely replace standardized geometric design to determine the structural basis and aesthetic character of tomorrow's buildings. Here, Spuybroek presents both a theoretical framework and an inspiring taxonomy of patterns and structures, followed by more than 100 illustrated designs for skyscrapers and façades based on organizational principles ranging from rose windows to knitting patterns.

The sympathy of things: Ruskin and the ecology of design

Summary:
In The Sympathy of Things, Lars Spuybroek argues that we must "undo" the twentieth century - the age in which the eighteenth-century ideal of the Sublime became a technological reality. Spuybroek returns to the insights of the great nineteenth-century art writer John Ruskin, for whom beauty always comprises variation, imperfection and fragility. Spuybroek argues that these three concepts not only define relations between humans and their designed products but between all things: "sympathy is what things feel when they shape each other." Spuybroek then compares five twinned themes in Ruskin - the Gothic and work, ornament and matter, sympathy and abstraction, the picturesque and time, ecology and design - with later philosophers and theorists such as William James and Bruno Latour.
