Product Description
Product Description
A Synthetic Look at the Impact of Parametric and Algorithmic Design on Architectural Practice. Parametric and algorithmic design are two of the fastest emerging and most radical technologies reshaping architecture today. Based on consistent relationships between objects, parametric design allows changes in a single element to propagate changes throughout the system. In parallel, algorithmic design has opened the way for complex forms to grow from simple methods while preserving specified qualities. How will these related but distinct techniques affect design practice? This is a compilation of projects from leading practitioners across the fields of parametric and algorithmic design and a compelling, multi-perspective debate on the future of design.

An absolute "must-have" for anyone striving to keep abreast of current challenges in the field
9 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
Created with contributions from a wealth of experts and featuring a conversation between architecture writer Sanford Kwinter and GNUFORM studio co-founder Jason Payne, Control to Design: Parametric/Algorithmic Architecture is a thoughtful presentation of six independent practices that each engage in current applications of parametric and algorithmic design techniques in architectural production. A step well beyond the first generation of digital modeling techniques, parametric and algorithmic architectural design may well be the future of architectural practice - but what precisely do they offer the discipline, and what are their weaknesses? Extensive black-and-white photography and diagrams, as well as some color photographs, illustrate this fascinating look at the cutting edge of a modern industry. An absolute "must-have" for anyone striving to keep abreast of current challenges in the field.
