Résumé:
At the turn of the last century, Adolf Loos wrote: "The evolution of culture is synonymous with the removal of ornament from objects of daily use." Ornament had exhausted its purpose, and the persistence of it, Loos argued, was indicative of a degenerative culture. The simple, undecorated form was celebrated as a signal of the movement of modern man toward some truer, more powerful expression of his self. Debates about ornament have returned: recent thinking questions the assumption that ornament is inessential, and its artistic and political implications continue to be hotly debated. The writers in "Crime and Ornament" bring these debates together by addressing the role of ornament in a variety of disciplines: film, visual art, video, literature, fashion, sports, gay imagery and, of course, architecture are explored in relation to this key concept. With a distinguished group of contributors including Felicity Scott, Brian Pronger, Jeanne Randolph, Ignasi de Solà-Morales, Graham Ramsay, Katherine Milligan, Jan Zwicky, Jim Drobnick, "Crime and Ornament" provides a diverse, multi-disciplinary approach to a salient concern in architectural, artistic and aesthetic discourse.

Résumé:
Edited by Professor Maia Engeli and with a contribution by Professor Gerhard Schmitt, both of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich), this book presents 33 exciting new projects which demonstrate the growing significance of CAAD for today's architects. Divided into 5 main chapters: Design in Space and Time; Learning and Creative Collaboration; Virtual Environments; IT and Practice; and Blurring Boundaries, the projects illustrate how computers can be used innovatively and creatively in designing physical, virtual and hybrid architecture. Particular emphasis is placed on the interaction between man and computer, and also on the aesthetic aspects. The book is accompanied by a CD-Rom which documents the design processes through animation sequences, demonstrating the dynamic features of the projects. Whilst these tools, installations and multi-media projects have arisen out of the field of architecture, they exceed the narrow confines of this discipline to touch upon areas such as interior design, graphic design and information technology. The designs presented are colourful and complex, seeking to fire the imagination in creating a fitting environment for today's society.
