Description:
BUILDING FUTURES
An approach to Information Modeling engaging concepts of equality, sustainability, and labor as they relate to environment and architectural practice
Building Futures: Technology, Ecology, and Architectural Practice explores how architects, and the buildings and environments we create, can engage future realities, both abstract and readily understood. These range from climate change and public health to advanced ideas about manufacture and construction. The text demonstrates multiple and hybrid paths in which building information modeling (BIM) and outgrowth technological processes including environmental simulation and human-robot interaction can be utilized in today?s contemporary context, expanding the architect?s agency by focusing on a more conceptual, and ecological, basis for our work. Moving beyond a basic understanding of the role of computation in architecture and design, the work shows how to think critically and speculatively about technology?s deeper and more lasting impacts on both architecture and society. Topics covered in Building Futures include:
Technology: information modeling and the relationship between computational and real objects, new approaches to coding in architectural design, and direct-to-manufacture workflows
Environment: understanding part-to-whole relationships at a variety of scales and the interconnectedness of things, post-subjective architectural approaches to ecology, and new ideas about sustainability
Practice: revisiting architecture by remote control in the time of new global challenges, and novel ideas about cre
