  • Description

    Ali Rahims text is the first of its kind to thoroughly explore the ideas and products of the digital revolution in architectural design. It fills an important gap in the field by clarifying for the first time the ideas and concepts that drive digital-based architecture, and reflecting on what distinguishes these forms from other architectural forms, other than the way they look.Catalytic Formations also explores the complex relationships between process, architectural forms and their experiential influences. The authors work at Contemporary Architecture Practice both illustrates the translation of these concepts into architectural design and sets up a network of relationships, both local and global, that extends throughout the book.Works by several contemporary technological practices have been selected to illustrate key concepts, including projects by: * Zaha Hadid with Patrik Schumacher (Zaha Hadid Architects)* Greg Lynn (FORM)* Cecil Balmond (AGU/Arup)* Mark Goulthorpe (deCoi)* Sulan Kolatan and William Macdonald (KOL/MAC)* Lars Spuybroek (NOX)* Kas Oosterhuis (ONL).Practices that innovatively use techniques that access the potential of technologies of their time, such as Charles and Ray Eames and Verner Panton, are also discussed. Methods for the practice and design of architecture that promotes innovation are presented in five chapters that offer qualitative assessments of crucial themes, which students, professional and cultural readers alike will find of great value.At the dawn of the twenty-first century, digital technologies have enabled new techniques for the development of architecture. In Catalytic Formations, Ali Rahim suggests that these digital design techniques have the potential to affect the wider cultural landscape in profound ways. Digital technologies allow architecture to engage in a feedback loop with its context -- to absorb influences and produce concrete effects on its users. This book offers both a philosophy andspecific techniques for how architects can catalyze cultural advancements. Also included are provocative examples from Rahima (TM)s work at Contemporary Architecture Practice and projects by Zaha Hadid, Greg Lynn, FORM, and other cutting edge architects.
