Critical Computational Relations in Design, Architecture and the Built Environment
This book delves into the power relations between computational practices, technology infrastructures, knowledge, and their reproductions of bias in design at multiple scales. It provides critical perspectives and insights on how computation intersects with architecture, design, the built environment, and society. Computational practices, tools and methods in design, architecture, and the built environment, frequently offer technocentric solutions to design problems. Portrayed as mere tools that are "neutral" and "optimized", these technological infrastructures mask social, political, and environmental entanglements involved in their creation and expansion as well as the power of software mo...
Homing the Machine in Architecture
Homing the Machine in Architecture is a series of conversations on the ways designers, practitioners, historians, and theorists orient themselves within the world of architectural digital fabrication. To “home” a digital fabrication machine is to send it back to its origin point—a point that can be specified by the fabricator in advance of the fabrication process or by the defaults that are pre-programmed into the machine. The homing process is necessary and productive since it determines the physical point at which the machine (and the maker) begin making—every time that architectural designers begin to digitally fabricate something new, they first need to home the machine. This boo...
디자인씽킹 도우미 Design Thinking Toolkit
본서는 디자인씽킹을 처음 접하고 무언가 프로젝트에 접목하여 진행하다 보면 디자인씽킹에서 추구하는 가치관은 무엇인지는 알겠는데, 프로젝트를 어떻게 수행해야 하는지에 대해서는 어려움을 겪을 때 도움이 되었으면 하는 마음에서 집필하였다. 프로젝트 수행 중 상황에 따라 여기서 제시한 도구들을 적소에 활용하면 많은 도움이 될 것이다. 이 책에 소개되는 대부분의 도구들은 기존에 있는 것들이며, 디자인씽킹 프로젝트를 수행하기 위해 도구들을 수집하고 정리하여 편리하도록 설명을 하였다.
Techno-Vernacular Creativity and Innovation
A novel approach to STEAM learning that engages students from historically marginalized communities in culturally relevant and inclusive maker education. The growing maker movement in education has become an integral part of both STEM and STEAM learning, tapping into the natural DIY inclinations of creative people as well as the educational power of inventing or making things. And yet African American, Latino/a American, and Indigenous people are underrepresented in maker culture and education. In this book, Nettrice Gaskins proposes a novel approach to STEAM learning that engages students from historically marginalized communities in culturally relevant and inclusive maker education. Techno...
The Evolution of Computation in Architecture
This book is the first comprehensive overview of the pioneering works, events, and people that contributed to the paradigm shift defined by computation in architecture. Only recently has computation fostered profound new ways of designing, fabricating, constructing, and thinking about architecture. While the profession sits at the end of the beginning of this historically transformative shift, it is now possible to look back upon the rapidly maturing landscape of projects, influencers, and tools that have finally begun to catch up with the visionary thinking of the past. Readers are guided through the fascinating and fast-paced historical timeline of the development of computation in archite...
A Tale from the Old Public Library
An Historical Survey of Public Architecture in Trinidad & Tobago; Case Study: The Old Public Library - 1901 on Knox Street, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. Survey & documentation conducted by Faculty and students of the Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism, Carleton University, Ottawa, CANADA with the Citizens for Conservation, Trinidad & Tobago. Book contains over 150 images including photographs, sketches, measured drawings, and digital renderings from 3D models.
Graph Vision
How a protean mathematical object, the graph, ushered in new images, tools, and infrastructures for design and catalyzed a digital future for architecture. In Graph Vision, Theodora Vardouli offers a fresh history of architecture’s early entanglements with modern mathematics and digital computing by focusing on a hidden protagonist: the graph. Fueled by iconoclastic sentiments and skepticism of geometric depiction, architects, she explains, turned to the skeletal underpinnings of their work, and with it the graph, as a site of representation, operation, and political possibility. Taking the reader on an enthralling journey through a polyvalent mathematical entity, Vardouli combines close r...
