Résumé
Contemporary Techniques in Architecture addresses the
translation of techniques in design methodology to their
architectural realisation, at the scale of space, material
programme and construction. It challenges technique-driven
experimental architects at the next intellectually rigorous
level - that of exploring concepts and translating them
into their material counterparts. How do you think through
the building of avant-garde forms? The title includes the
work of high-profile philosophers, architects and
engineers, such as Manuel Delanda who wrote 1000 Years of
Non-Linear History; Greg Lynn and Foreign Office
Architects; and Cecil Balmond of Ove Arup, who worked with
Daniel Libeskind on his proposal for the Spiral Building
for the V&A Museum in London, as well as with Philip
Johnson and Studio Baad on the Chavasse Park Project
featured here.
Intellectually stimulating and visually engaging, with its inclusion of spectacular writing, designs, manufactured prototypes and full-scale buildings, Contemporary Techniques in Architecture takes architectural publishing's treatment of the digital to a new level, looking at its potential in a realised form as well as a creative medium.
