Synopsis
At the turn to the twentieth century, architects began to realize that architecture should no longer find ist expression in historic styles. They had recognized that the reason for arbitrarily resorting to historical building forms established in advance was that the design process had been completely separated from construction.
In spite of the incidental paths of architectural design approaches, there seems to be a consensus emerging in view of today’s global challenges: It is no longer just a question of what shall I build or how shall I build. Instead, the question is how shall I organize and improve my design tools to new dimensions of architecture in order to increase building performance while saving resources and energy and to let digital design solve design tasks that could hardly be solved previously? Today, many projects are pointing in this direction and seem to inaugurate a sustainable fourth dimension of architecture. This book is a comparative critical analysis of such seemingly incidental design approaches, and thus it is an attempt to serve as a historical scenario for the future.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Schon vor mehr als hundert Jahren hatte Adolf Loos geklagt, der Architekt habe die Architektur zu einer grafischen Kunst verkommen lassen. Er wies auf ein Problem hin, das über Jahrhunderte unbemerkt blieb. Doch heute, im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung, vergrößert sich die von Loos beklagte Trennung von Entwerfen und Baupraxis ins Unermessliche.CAD erlaubt es Architekten heute, Formen zu entwerfen, die sie sich zuvor weder vorstellen noch zeichnen konnten. Doch wo die Form wichtiger wird als Funktion, Kontext und das Bauen, wird Architektur beliebig. Technologie allein bewirkt noch keinen Wendepunkt im Bauen, zuvor ist eine Wende im Entwerfen nötig, die weitere Potentiale der Digitalisierung zukunftsorientierend einzubringen weiß. Der reichbebilderte Band eröffnet durch den Blick in die Geschichte des Bauens ein Szenario für die Zukunft, das in Anbetracht der globalen Herausforderung im Umgang mit Ressourcen und Energie immer dringender wird. 240 pp. Englisch.
