Product information "Computational Design – From Promise to Practice"

Computational design is a post-disciplinary pursuit that operates at the intersection of science, engineering, architecture, and design. What new strategies, tools, methods, and workflows for conceptualising, generating and producing the built environment do and can computational designers use? Do new opportunities to enhance design agency and realise more sustainable and resilient built environment design outcomes exist when thinking through technology? How can the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry overcome technical, economic, social, cultural, and regulatory barriers to implement new systems and processes?

"Computational Design – From Promise to Practice" argues that to realise the full potential of computational design necessitates an approach that brings theory and research inquiry into closer dialogue with the realities and conditions of the design, delivery, and production of the built and urban environment as well as its lived experiences. This book documents an action-research approach that underpins the Computational Design Education and Research program at the University of New South Wales, Australia and that simultaneously combines theory and practice, researchers and industry practioners, and action and reflection. The innovative range of theoretical positions and projects presented here demonstrate how a synergistic approach to transforming real-world industry challenges into academic research inquiries and learning opportunities can in turn positively transform the AEC industry and 21st century cities.

The editors:

Dr Nicole Gardner is a Lecturer in the Bachelor of Computational Design, in the Faculty of the Built Environment, University of New South Wales, Sydney. She is an Australian Registered Architect with architecture practice experience in Adelaide, London, and Sydney. Her research and teaching engages an interdisciplinary range of ideas to investigate the changing relationships between digital and computational technologies and the design, delivery and production of the built environment.

Associate Professor M. Hank Haeusler is the founder and Discipline Director of the Bachelor of Computational Design – the world’s first undergraduate degree in Computational Design – at the Built Environment Faculty at the University of New South Wales. He is also Professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts Beijing and Vice President of the Media Architecture Institute.

Dr. Yannis Zavoleas is an Architect Engineer licenced in Greece. He is Senior Lecturer in Computational Design at the Faculty of Built Environment, University of New South Wales, where he focuses on the influences of computing and digital and analogue tools as "tools for thought" in design creativity.

Theory and practice of a groundbreaking and emergent technology, including case studies by leading researchers: BIM modeling, digital fabrication, smart cities, responsive enviroment, gaming.

Media Architecture Compendium – Digital Placemaking
New frontiers for media architecture: This compendium explores how digital media is shaping cities today and in the years to come. It illustrates groundbreaking use of light and media in urban environments through 36 winning or shortlisted entries from the Media architecture Biennale awards in 2014 and 2016 in five categories: animated architecture, Money architecture, Participatory architecture & Urban Interaction, Spatial Media art, Future Trends & Prototypes.All four authors are board members of the Media architecture Institute, a non-profit organisation with offices in Vienna, Sydney, Beijing and Toronto.Search inside on ISSUU.com

New Media Facades
With this book, the in-depth reference work "Media Facades – History, Technology and Content" is  sequelled by a stock take: what developments have there been in the last three years? Which kind of media façade has established itself? How can media façades be integrated into today's often "curvaceous" architecture and urban landscape? These are just some of the questions which are examined by looking at around 35 current examples, supplemented by interviews with early protagonists from this field, scientists, journalists, product developers, and many more.New trends, directions and technologies are discussed and the important topic sustainability is not forgotten either. With projects, amongst others, by Asymptote, Big, realities:united, and UNStudio.

Media Facades
Fundamental introduction to a topic of current interest Overview about the varied media facades that exist, their technology and future development More than 30 breathtaking media facades by ag4, realities:united, UNStudio, Urbanscreen, among others The book introduces a canon of media architectural terminology and shows the history of media façades through early examples of embedding media in architecture, like Times Square, New York, and Centre Pompidou, Paris.State-of-the-art developments are presented with approx. 30 international projects of contemporary media architecture separated and classified in 7 different technical categories: projection facades, rear projection facades, window raster animation, display facades, illuminated facades, mechanical facades and voxel facades. Each of these 7 categories gets introduced via explaining the technology and through the means of built examples. In each example project data are presented with a brief description about the project and the used technology. An analysis of the representational characteristics of media façades lead to an introduction of possible forms of media content and completes the book.M. Hank Haeusler, Dr. Ing., studied architecture in Japan, the Netherlands, Germany and finished his Ph.D. at the RMIT School of Architecture in Melbourne, Australia in 2007. His media consulting office City Lights Architecture Store/CLAStore combines his research interests with application in praxis.

What Urban Media Art Can Do
Why When Where and How?  Urban media art is one of the most significant trends currently unfolding in contemporary art. It enables artists to develop new participative and interactive forms of art. The wealth of examples in this volume show how these scenarios are reflected in an urban context, including themes such as urban activism, telepresence, placemaking, sensing and ecology.The book is based on the cultural project "Connecting Cities" sponsored by the EU, which studies the effects of urban media art on urban culture and its environment, architecture and participative urban development. The aim is an expanding worldwide network of media façades, urban screens and projection surfaces within the urban space.Search inside on ISSUU.com
