Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is a book about faces in everyday objects. It is also a book about planting trees - since 100% of the profits will be donated to a tree-planting charity. Most of all, however, this is a book about discovering and using one's personal tools and abilities for something that matters. The quality of these pages is not in what they display, how they look, or what they generate, but rather it is in what they represent: turning something trivial into a method of action. This is our planet, this is our future, and this is our chance to design it the way we want it to be. The trick is to not succumb to the overwhelming helplessness we are confronted with, but to do what we understand as right and towards that which we care about. We don't all have to take the exact same measures, such as eating vegan or cycling to work - but we should all do something - since everyone can make a difference. Manuel Kretzer is Professor for Material and Technology at the Dessau Department of Design, Anhalt University of Applied Sciences. Vanessa Schnurre is an artistic advisor and Assistant Professor for Communications Design at the Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel. All profits generated from the sale of these books will be donated to the organisation Plant-for-the-Planet, which plants trees as both a practical and symbolic action in efforts to reduce the effects of climate change.

Paperback. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut - ungelesen,als Mängelexemplar gekennzeichnet, mit leichten Mängeln an Schnitt oder Einband durch Lager- oder Transportschaden -Synthetic Realities embarks on a groundbreaking journey into the dynamic landscape of design, art and architecture in the era of artificial intelligence. Edited by Manuel Kretzer and authored by a cadre of internationally renowned practitio- ners, educators and thinkers, this collection provides a sweeping overview of how AIis reshaping creative fields, blending the digital with the physical and redefining the boundaries of materiality and aesthetics. The book delves into the profound influence of digitization on creative processes, critically examining how emerging technologies foster new forms of expression and innovation. It navigates the exciting intersection of biology and digital technology, revealing cutting-edge material innovations and bio- digital synergies. Beyond redefining aesthetic and spatial experiences in our digitized era, this volume offers fresh, compelling perspectives on the symbiosis of artificial and organic elements. Concluding with insightful philosophical reflections, Synthetic Realities is an intellectual odyssey that challenges readers to reconsider their un- derstanding of the relationship between humans, technology and creativity. A must- read for visionaries and enthusiasts, or anyone interested in the future of design and architecture, it beckons you to expand your perspectives and immerse yourself in the limitless possibilities that AI introduces to the worlds of creative endeavour.Authors:VERENA BACHLADIL BOKHARIVERA BÜHLMANN MATIAS DEL CAMPO FELECIA DAVIS MARC ENGENHARTBEHNAZ FARAHI MICHAEL HANSMEYER IMMANUEL KOHMARIA KUPTSOVA SIMON MARIS AGOSTINO NICKL JORGE OROZCO MIRO ROMAN JENNY E.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book considers the potential of new, smart materials and their use in architecture. It begins with an overview of current global tendencies (technological, demographic, and socio-anthropological) and their relevance for architectural design. Expanding upon approaches for flexible design solutions to address change and uncertainty, Dr. Kretzer begins by exploring adaptive architecture and proceeds to introduce the topic of 'information materials,' which encompasses smart and functional materials, their current usage, and their potential for the creation of future spaces. The second chapter provides a comprehensive overview of architectural materials, past and present, split into the topics: natural, industrial, synthetic, digital, and information materials. Chapter three introduces an educational approach for the mediation of information material usage in design courses and student workshops. The final section provides detailed information on a range of emerging material phenomena, including aerogels, bioluminescence, bio plastics, dye-sensitized solar cells, electroluminescent displays, electroactive polymers, soft robotics, and thermochromics. Each section explains its respective history, working principles, fabrication and (potential) usage in architecture and design, and provides hands-on tutorials on how to self-produce these materials, and displays class-tested experimental installations. The book concludes with an outlook into the domain of synthetic biology and the prospects of a 'living' architecture. It is ideal for students of structural materials engineering, architecture,and urban planning; professionals working these in areas, as well as materials science/engineering and architecture educators.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Materiability is design by making, an understanding of actively learning from and about the world by physically engaging in it. The immediate connection between matter and human senses, such as touch, smell, sound or visuals, forms the basis for bodily explorations, engagements, and experiences. Materiability is a call to take action, to cease accepting the status-quo as given but instead speculate and dream about possible alternatives. It is about sharing these dreams with others, about communication, exchange, collaboration and open, unrestricted access to information. Materiability is the belief in a future that is shaped by our common efforts. It is about inspiration, ideas and visions. About understanding challenges not as problems that need to be solved but as opportunities from which new can emerge. Materiability is a playground for probing tomorrow. 212 pp. Englisch.
