Digital Stories
Design in the area of architecture is essentially an act of innovation, continually striving to integrate practical, metaphorical and symbolic features into the designs using the technical means of today, and this is precisely where the computer can provide fascinating new potential to create a narrative space.
CAAD futures 1997
Since the establishment of the CAAD futures Foundation in 1985 CAAD experts from all over the world meet every two years to present and at the same time document the state of art of research in Computer Aided Architectural Design. The history of CAAD futures started in the Netherlands at the Technical Universities of Eindhoven and Delft, where the CAAD futures Foundation came into being. Then CAAD futures crossed the oceans for the first time, the third CAAD futures in 1989 was held at Harvard University. Next stations in the evolution were in 1991 Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, the ETC, Zürich. In 1993 the conference was organized by Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh and in 1995 by National University, Singapore, CAAD futures 1995 marked the world wide nature by organizing it for the first time in Asia. Proceedings of CAAD futures held biannually provide a complete review of the state of research in Computer Aided Architectural Design.
Abstract Space
This visually stunning, conceptually rich and imaginative book investigates the cultural connection between new media and architectural imaging. Through a range of material, from theoretical texts to experimental design projects, Tierney explores notions of what the architectural image means today. Within the book's visually imaginative design framework, Abstract Space engages discourses from architecture, visual and cultural studies to computer science and communications technology to present an in-depth multi-media case study. Tracing a provisional history of the topic, the book also lends a provocative and multivalent understanding to the complex relations affecting the architectural image today.
Advanced Technologies
In the last twenty years we have seen radical changes take place in the design of buildings. Present-day constructions are incorporating more and more elements which are "intelligent", providing a high degree of flexibility. Electronic systems control the regulation of light, temperature and energy flows, security devices are automated, even facades and the internal structures are becoming "intelligent". More recently, the advances in Information Technology are making what was once considered futuristic a very real possibility. "Building automation", where everything within an edifice is integrated and linked up is examined and investigated in this publication, providing a concise overview of the latest developments which will be helpful for both architects and engineers
Architecture Goes Wild
Een selectie van teksten van architect Kas Oosterhuis waarin hij zijn beweegredenen uiteenzet rond de digitale revolutie, die hij vanaf het begin van de 90-er jaren, in zijn ontwerppraktijk inzet.

The latest book in our successful series IT Revolution in Architecture provides a concise summary of how our perception of the space around us has radically changed in recent years. We could even go as far as to say that we ourselves shape the space around us according to how our perceptions of the universe alter and develop, and mathematics plays a pivotal role. In this book, the "virtual" protagonist of the journey through the concept of space is the square. Michele Emmer, born in 1945, is Professor of Mathematics at the University La Sapienza in Rome and has authored many books and films on the subject of mathematics and art and culture. He was also responsible for exhibitions at the Venetian Biennale and the Cité des Sciences La Villette in Paris.
Information Architecture
With increasing intensity, CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design) is determining the daily work of today's architectural offices. Computers allow complex designs to be visualized and altered with great speed and accuracy; three-dimensional models can be created with simulation and animation possibilities, and links to the World Wide Web provide access to a flow of information. The author develops his thesis that these aspects do not just enable the creative process to be optimized in a quantitative sense but also qualitatively. Alongside the spatial and time dimensions, the new electronic possibilities provide a fifth dimension in architecture.
Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures 2001
CAAd Futures is a Bi-annual Conference that aims at promoting the advancement of computer aided architectural design in the service of those concerned with the quality of the built environment. The conferences are organised under the auspices of the CAAD Futures Foundation which has its secretariat at the Eindhoven University of Technology. The Series of conferences started in 1985 in Delft, and has since travelled through Eindhoven, Boston, Zurich, Pittsburgh, Singapore, Munich, and Atlanta. The book contains the proceedings of the 9th CAAD Futures conference which took place at Eindhoven University of Technology, 8-11 of July, 2001. The Articles in this book cover a wide range of subjects ...
Deployable Emergency System. Arquitecturas Desechables de Emergencia
Ha sido siempre difícil predecir lo imprevisible, pero con el conocimiento y las tecnologías de hoy en día debería ser posible al menos para pronosticar de un modo fiable la parte previsible para proporcionar las exigencias sanitarias humanas primarias. En una tentativa de cubrir todas estas necesidades estos sistemas ahora se enfrentan a desafíos importantes planteados por el desarrollo rápido de la comunicación y la tecnología biomédica, la necesidad de la contención de coste y el foco sobre la eficiencia y la eficacia, el aumento de la demanda de servicios de las poblaciones y los cambios de factores demográficos y epidemiológicos. El interfaz de emergencia nos ayudará a decidir rápidamente en situaciones críticas como la Unidad debe ser y nos llevará a su diseño en tiempo real. Nuestro Sistema Sanitario de Emergencia tiene un diseño basado en la interfaz. Cuando una emergencia ocurre, el interfaz conectado a la fábrica diseñará el sistema, personalizado para la situación, lo empaquetará y lo enviará listo para desplegarse.
Behind the Scenes
Information technology has brought about a radical change in architectural design. The sketches and plans of yesterday have been transformed by CAD. In this book the authors cast a glance behind the scenes to provide a systematic overview of the tools and technical processes which are now an integral part of today ́s design methods. The most important digital tools are presented, the principal steps are analysed, and the essential concepts are explained. The theoretical information is vividly illustrated by a selection of examples from the world of architecture. A concise and accessible introduction to electronic designing, this book makes the subject easily comprehensible to all who are new to the field, and for those who already involved in digital designing it is a useful recapitulation and orientation.
