Following on from the successful book "Natural Born CAADesigners: Young American Architects", this book takes a look at the most recent architectonic developments in the Mediterranean countries, where architects have up to now been strongly influenced by the archaeologically significant environment and their classical architectural inheritance. How do young architects in Italy, France, Spain and Greece react to the new digital age? The electronic tools give them the chance to free themselves from the burden of tradition, to explore fascinating opportunities in their architecture. This book provides a colourful and concise overview of their work, using previously unpublished material. The team IAN+ was formed in 1997 in Rome by Carmelo Baglivo, Luca Galofaro and Stefania Manna. Maria Luisa Palumbo works at the McLuhan Programm in Culture and Technology.
DIFFUSIONS IN ARCHITECTURE A guide to diffusion models and their impact on design, with insight on how this novel artificial intelligence technology may disrupt the industry Diffusions in Architecture: Artificial Intelligence and Image Generators delves into the impact of Generative AI models and their effect on architecture design and aesthetics. The book presents an in-depth analysis of how these new technologies are revolutionizing the field of architecture and changing the way architects approach their work. The architects presented in the book focus on the application of specific AI techniques and tools used in generative design, such as Diffusion models, Dall-E2, Stable Diffusion, and MidJourney. It discusses how these techniques can generate synthetic images that are both realistic and imaginative, creating new possibilities for architectural design and aesthetics. Twenty-two leading designers and theorists offer their insights, providing disciplinary depth by covering the full impact of these learning tools on architecture.
This book gathers peer-reviewed papers presented at the 3rd International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Image and Imagination (IMG), held in Milano, Italy, in November 2021. Highlighting interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary research concerning graphics science and education, the papers address theoretical research as well as applications, including education, in several fields of science, technology and art. Mainly focusing on graphics for communication, visualization, description and storytelling, and for learning and thought construction, the book provides architects, engineers, computer scientists, and designers with the latest advances in the field, particularly in the context of science, arts and education.
Understanding that video games are a fundamentally human creation, in this volume international scholars, designers, developers, and most importantly gamers, share with us their common connection though video game culture.
Although the disciplines of architecture and structural engineering have both experienced their own historical development, their interaction has resulted in many fascinating and delightful structures. To take this interaction to a higher level, there is a need to stimulate the inventive and creative design of architectural structures and to persuade architects and structural engineers to further collaborate in this process, exploiting together new concepts, applications and challenges. This set of book of abstracts and full paper searchable CD-ROM presents selected papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Structures and Architecture Conference (ICSA2016), organized by the Sch...
L’Ordine degli Architetti P.P.C. della Provincia di Forlì Cesena ha istituito, dal 2013, la Festa dell’Architettura: un evento culturale a cadenza annuale che ha l’obiettivo di promuovere e divulgare la qualità architettonica quale strumento indispensabile per la definizione dell’immagine di una città che si consolida con le trasformazioni del tessuto contemporaneo. Il libro vuole essere una sintesi delle riflessioni sviluppate nell’arco di tre edizioni della Festa dell’Architettura incentrate sul tema del Progettare e costruire la città contemporanea, rivolgendosi in particolare alla rigenerazione urbana come chiave attuativa di trasformazione del costruito. Il volume raccoglie le riflessioni e le ricerche che, in questi tre anni, autori, architetti e critici dell’architettura di rilievo nazionale e internazionale, hanno portato come proprio contributo all’interno della Festa dell’Architettura.
Questo volume è il primo risultato di un programma di studio e valorizzazione del complesso delle Mura Aureliane, promosso dalla Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali e dalle tre Università romane Sapienza, Tor Vergata e Roma Tre. La collaborazione è in atto in diversi ambiti tra i quali l’organizzazione di almeno tre convegni sulle Mura, cui affidare il compito di fare il punto sulle conoscenze acquisite e sui temi di ricerca ancora aperti, nonché di monitorare nel tempo e nei luoghi lo stato di salute del complesso palinsesto murario. Il primo Convegno, di cui oggi pubblichiamo gli Atti, si è svolto il 25 marzo 2015 nella sede del Dipartimento di Architettura di Roma Tre allâ€...
