Emergence - the process by which new and coherent structures, patterns and properties 'emerge' from within complex systems Traditional architecture starts from the premise that architectural structures are singular and fixed, and however well integrated are separate from their environment and contex[...]

This book will provide a unique collection of seminal texts on Computational Design thinking. An important aspect of the book will be the way that it connects adjacent fields and historical texts, introducing the original thinking that has been influential in the formation of today's computational d[...]

The production of architecture, both intellectually and physically, is on the brink of a fundamental change. Computational design enables architects to integrate multifaceted and complex design information. This title introduces and outlines the enabling power of computational design along with its [...]
