Résumé:
Parametricism is an avant-garde architecture and design movement that has been growing and maturing over the last 15 years, emerging as a remarkable global force. The tendency started in architecture but now encompasses all design disciplines, from urban design to fashion. In architecture, the style has an international following and is currently progressing beyond its experimental roots to make an impact on a broader scale, with practices like Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) winning and completing large-scale architectural projects worldwide. Parametricism implies that all elements and aspects of an architectural composition or product are parametrically malleable; and the style owes its original, unmistakable physiognomy to its unprecedented use of computational design tools and fabrication methods. All design parameters are conceived as variables that allow the design to vary and adapt to the diverse, complex and dynamic requirements of contemporary society. Although Parametricism has been talked about and hotly debated for a number of years, so far there has been no publication dedicated to Parametricism. The issue is guest-edited by Patrik Schumacher, partner at ZHA, and one of the world’s most highly renowned advocates of Parametricism.

Résumé:
Architects are now taking advantage of the computer in new ways through experimentation with algorithmic and simulation-driven design. Computation Works focuses on this emerging theme in design practice, showcasing built and soon to be built projects and providing a state of the art in computational design. The use of algorithmic and simulation-driven design raises important new questions which the book examines including: how is computation changing the way architects design? How can computation create new forms of architecture? Is there an aesthetic to computational architecture? Are the design tools and methods related to the result?

An interview between Rem Koohaas and Charles Jencks discusses the influence of Post-Modernism while investigations of street art, graffiti and the 1980 Venice Biennale show that communication is at the heart of this radical strain of architecture.

Résumé:
Sustainable design and ecological building are the most significant global challenges for the design profession. To meet new building regulations and national targets for carbon emissions, all future buildings will be judged on their ‘green’ merits. For architects to maintain a competitive edge in a global market, innovation is now key; the design of new processes, technologies and materials that combat carbon emissions and improve the sustainable performance of buildings are paramount. Contemporary practices have responded by setting up multi- disciplinary internal research and development teams, with offices such as Foster + Partners, HOK and Aedas setting the bar for ground-breaking research and development. The aim of internal groups is often to adapt and create new technologies and materials and to borrow ways of working from other disciplines, to focus on innovation rather than incrementally increasing performance or efficiency. This title offers insights into how a wide range of established and emerging practices are rising to meet these challenges. In pursuit of integrated sustainability and low-energy building, material and formal innovation and new tools and technologies, it illustrates that the future of architecture is evolving in an exchange of ideas across disciplines. Incorporating the creation of new knowledge about ecological building within the profession, it also identifies the emergence of a collective will to seek out new routes that build in harmony with the environment.

Résumé:
Architecture et technologies sont étroitement liées bien qu'évoluant à des rythmes différents. Leurs relations sont donc complexes et leurs rebords ponctuent l'histoire de l'architecture. Malgré leurs discours rationalistes, les mouvements modernes n'ont jamais vraiment su ou pu conjuguer l'un et l'autre, une dichotomie qui aujourd'hui se perpétue; la pratique architecturale n'intègre en effet que très ocasionnelement les acquis de technologies toujours plus performantes, celles notamment concernant les économies d'énergies, l'autosuffisance et le respect d'environnement naturels. En témoigne l'extraordinaire indigence de formulations architecturales incorporant les systèmes de capteurs solaires ou celles des projets à prétentions écologiques. Ces indigences ne sont pas rédhibitoires. Des architectes se sont intéressés à ces technologies dites douces et les ont saisies pour développer des projets d'entités autosuffisantes, de bâtiments à haute qualité environnementale. Les formulations en sont souvent hétérogènes, parfois spectaculaire mais jamais gratuites qui annoncent la maturité d'une autre génération d'architectes, l'éclosion d'une architecture susceptible de mieux répondre aux préoccupations d'une époque cherchant à préserver son avenir. C'est là le sens de cet ouvrage dont le contenu montre que si la discipline d'architecture exprime son temps, elle sait aussi anticiper. ////////////////////////////////// Whilst France’s contemporary architecture is highly regarded throughout the world, her architects have hardly been leading protagonists in the debate on ecological building. The developments featured in this book, however, should serve to correct this impression. Between 1999- 2002 Electricité de France (EDF) initiated an ambitious research programme to bring together first-class architects and innovative technologies involving renewable energy, strategies to reduce energy consumption, newly developed software programs to support ecologically oriented architectural design etc. The goal was to create sustainable and aesthetically pleasing architecture. This book documents the buildings, some of which have already been realized, resulting from this experiment which attracted participation from both established and also younger architects. Amongst those included are Jean-Yves Barrier, Gilles Bouchez, François Chochon, Adrien Fainsilber, Jacques Ferrier, Manuelle Gautrand, Christian Hauvette, Dominique Lyon & Pierre du Besset, Marc Mimram, François Roche, François Seigneur & Sylvie de la Dure, Francis Soler, Mirto Vitart & Jean-Marc Ibos. Marc Emery was Chief Editor of the magazine "Architecture d’Aujourd’hui" and is an expert on the French architectural scene.

Résumé:
From universalism to colonial politics, from a close observation of co-approaches hoping to instigate change to the exotic and exploitative thoughts of designers themselves, the contents of this issue of ''Raddar'' share a critical stance in their examination from specific angles and subjects. Yet they also avoid taking a traditional approach, aiming to shed light on the underlying aspects. Encompassing historical Indochina, contemporary Lebanon, African and American odysseys, inclusive imaginary typographics, multinational practices, and more, its scope invites readers to explore other dimensions for critical study. Design politics seeks to move beyond the separation of design and politics, because all design activity is inherently also political activity.
