The Digital Turn in Architecture 1992-2012: AD Reader: Amazon.co.uk: Mario Carpo. Book Description Publication Date: 19 Oct 2012 | Series: AD Reader The digital turn in architecture has gone through several stages and phases, and Architectural Design ( AD ) has captured them all.
This anthology of AD ′s most salient articles is chronologically and thematically arranged to provide a complete historical timeline of the rise to pre–eminence of computer–based design and production. A much–needed pedagogical and research tool, this synopsis also relates the present state of digitality in architecture to the history and theory of its recent development and trends. Architectural students, scholars, and practicing architects will find this book an invaluable reference.

The purpose of investigating the overlaps between architecture and biology is neither to draw borders or make further distinctions nor to declare architecture alive, but to clarify what is currently happening in the blurred fields, and to investigate the emerging discipline of „biomimetics in architecture" [Architekturbionik].
An overview of the present state of research in the relatively young scientific field of biomimetics shows the potential of the approach. The new discipline aims at innovation by making use of the subtle systems and solutions in nature having evolved within millions of years. Approaches that have been taken to transfer nature's principles to architecture have provided successful developments.
The new approach presented in this book transfers the abstract concept of life onto built environment. Inside Smartgeometry: Amazon.co.uk: Terri Peters, Brady Peters.

Book Description Publication Date: 22 July 2011 | ISBN-10: 0470689803 | ISBN-13: 978-0470689806 A new title in the Architectural Design series that explores the potential of computational mathematics in cutting–edge design Mathematics has always been a vital tool in the architect′s trade, but the last fifteen years have seen a sharp rise in the power of computers and has led to computational abilities far beyond anything previously available.
Modern design software and computing power have changed the traditional role of geometry in architecture and opened up new possibilities enabled by topology, non–Euclidean geometry, and other areas of mathematics. With insight from a top–notch list of contributors, including such notables as Philippe Morel and Fabien Scheurer, Mathematics in Space discusses how the advent of computation and information technology has affected the work of contemporary architects.

CARPI, University of Pisa, Italy C.A. BREBBIA. With the onward march of science and technology, and the continuing quest for improvement, there is a growing curiosity about the world around us.
Close examination of structures in nature can be rewarding and surprising. Nature has shown an extraordinary capacity to develop dynamic structures and systems over many millions of years and there is still much to be learnt. Aimed at providing researchers in this subject with fresh impetus and inspiration, this book consists of papers presented at the Fifth International Conference on Design and Nature.

Parametric Design as a Technique of Convergence (Jose Pedro Sousa) Design emerges as a digital technique, which by offering particularpossibilities to bridge conception-to-production processes, promotes newforms of developing architectural projects. 2.
Parametric Design Coming from other design related areas (i.e. automotive, aerospace andproduct design), parametric design supports a different kind of architecturalproposal. Also known as “associative geometry” (Burry and Murray, 1997)“relational modeling”, “variational design” or “constraint based design”(Monedero, 2001), parametric design implies the representation of a designintention with a series of associative operations, controlled by constraints andparameters. As described by Kolarevic (2001), “In parametric architecture, itis the parameters of a particular design that are declared, not is shape”.Parameters are numbers and geometrical relationships.
