Moving Layers Contextual Video in Art and Architecture (b&w)
Volume # 31 of "The IT Revolution in Architecture," "Moving Layers" explores the stratified language of the electronic image and its ability to redefine architectonic space, giving it new meaning. From the prehistory and genetics of Video Art to the origins of video installations, site specific installations, interactive environments and Public Video Art, all the way to the applications of advanced technology in the new media.This is an artistic study of the elasticity of video surfaces, of the possibility of rethinking and re-dimensioning the experience of space through the use of images in motion. The authors Alexandro Ladaga, and Silvia Manteiga founded ELASTIC Group of Artistic Research in 1999. Their contributions to the international art scene are works with highly conceptual aspects, the fruit of careful analysis of their surroundings.

Francois Roche Heretical Machinism and Living Architecture of New Territories.com (Color)
Volume #32 of "The IT Revolution in Architecture", this book dedicated to François Roche and his group, raises questions of great importance for the development of architecture. What role can new material technologies have in a process in which the same materials have incorporated growing shares of active behaviors? For example, will they be self-cleaning, un-polluting, self-changing? To what extent will the various components of the buildings be increasingly "interconnected" and able to simulate processes typical of living systems, such as transpiration, dilation, growth, life, and death? Can we begin to speak of living "systems" in architecture? Antonino Di Raimo, PhD works with issues relating to IT and cognition, ecology, and the body. He serves as the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture at Polis University, Tirana. Founder and editor of the book series before with Birkhäuser and Testo&Immagine and now with Edilstampa, is Antonino Saggio. www.arc1.Uniroma1.it/Saggio/IT/
The IT Revolution in Architecture. Thoughts on a Paradigm Shift
Information Technology is imposing itself as the central paradigm for a new phase in all of architecture; the dynamic interconnections at the heart of IT are being transferred from the world of digital models to the reality of a reactive, sensitive, interactive architecture. The structure chosen for this book was to avoid a "crib sheet" on the "IT Revolution in Architecture." The formula of the "treatise" was just as impossible to use not only because many aspects of contemporary scientific research are oriented toward a structure that remains intentionally open and serves to launch new hypotheses rather than solidify certainties, but also because this aspect is reinforced by the material that by its nature finds itself in an free, interconnected, intrinsically problematic dimension.
SHoP Works
This book shows the activity of SHoP Architects as an emblematic example of the research area, the applications and the growing success of a contemporary American office focused on digital technologies for design and construction. What is peculiar of SHoP is the openness to all the different actors of the building process. An intense experimental intention is found in the works of the office, all embedded in a fully contemporary aesthetic dimension, focused on vibration and variation of building components. And the beauty of buildings is much more relevant since it is strictly connected to all pragmatic and technological aspects of architectural practice, and to the search for new paths of invention.
Digital Van Berkel : diagrams, processes, models of UNStudio
Volume # 29 of "IT Revolution in Architecture", "Digital van Berkel" is an invaluable book that scans with an attentive eye the full body of works of UNStudio. The author repeatedly interrogates van Berkel, offering to the reader approachable avenues for learning and understanding. One of the most interesting office today, develops trough its exciting realizations the issue of digital sustainability as the key of a mutable approach, constantly open at a flux of a flexible informations. Andrea Sollazzo (Napoli, 1978), architect, worked in Rome, Paris, and in the Netherlands at "OMA" and "123dv/Lionglie". Specializing in Building Technologies at TU Delft, Sollazzo lives and works in Rotterdam. "IT Revolution in Architecture" is a book series initiated by Birkhäuser in 1999 and now published by Edilstampa, ANCE Rome. Founder and editor since its first publication with Testo&mmagine is Antonino Saggio. http: //www.arc1.Uniroma1.it/Saggio/IT/
Penezic & Rogina
Volume # 28 of "IT Revolution in Architecture", "Penezic + Rogina" covers one of the most interesting international architectural studio. Extremely active in the field of IT not only in experimental works but also in the concrete realization of architectures, P+R participated with major installations at Biennale of Venice since 2000 and competed relevant buildings in Croatia. Nigel Whiteley (1953-2010) was professor of Visual Arts at Lancaster University. He has lectured in several countries. His books include "Reyner Banham: Historian of the Immediate Future", "DesignFor Society", and "Pop Design - Modernism to Mod". His essays ha been published in major magazines. "IT Revolution in Architecture" is a book series initiated by Birkhäuser in 1999 and now published by Edilstampa, ANCE Rome. Founder and editor since its first publication with Testo&mmagine is Antonino Saggio. http: //www.arc1.Uniroma1.it/Saggio/IT/
Plasma Works From Topological Geometries to Urban Landscaping
Volume #33 of ""The IT Revolution in Architecture,"" this book outlines the work of Plasma studio, from the cultural elements tied to landform, to the parametric development of the projects, to the very organization of the studio. The topological geometries of the interior of the Hotel Puerta America; the advanced conceptualization of landform architecture; the approach to the complex design synthesis of landscape urbanism at the great Flowing Gardens in Xi'an are a demonstration of how digital experimentation is a crucial weapon today. The author explores the intersections between digital philosophy, emerging technologies, and architecture and offers the reader the first complete critical and theoretical analysis of the work of Plasma studio. Founder and editor of the book series before with Birkhauser and Testo&Immagine and now with Edilstampa, is Antonino Saggio. www.arc1.Uniroma1.it/Saggio/IT

Performing Home
Performing Home is the first sustained study of the ways in which artists create artworks in, and in response to, domestic dwellings. In the context of growing interest in ideas and practices that cross between architecture, arts practice and performance, it is valuable to understand what happens when artists make work in and about specific buildings. This is particularly important with domestic dwellings, which can be bound up with experiences, issues, practices and understandings of home. The book focuses on a range of recent artistic projects to identify and investigate critical ways by which artists practise domestic dwellings. In doing so, it addresses the ways in which artists enquire ...
