Includes bibliographical references and index.
Theory: A Universe of Discourse -- Form: From Composition to Generation -- Performance/Generation: From Analysis to Informed Synthesis -- Parametrics: The Design of Multiplicities --
Morphogenesis: Bio-inspired Evolutionary Design -- Tectonics: From Form to Material Tectonics -- Materialization: Materialization Processes and Design Technologies --
Material Fabrication: Design Technologies of Digital Materiality --
Responsive/Dynamic/Adaptive -- Epistemology: Disciplinary Knowledge of Digital Design in Architecture.
In the form of a critical anthology, this book interlaces an ensemble of seminal articles by leading figures in the theory and practice of digital design with a series of original theoretical texts. It develops a meta-theory of the emerging interactions of media technologies and design in architecture. This theory is promoted as a foundation of transformations in design methods as well as a basis for the evolution of new forms of design thinking. The development of an explication of emerging concepts in the form of a new taxonomy is an important contribution in any form of discourse analysis. Theories of the Digital in Architecture attempts to develop such a conceptual orientation for the growing impact of the integration of digital media technologies in design. It locates these conceptual structures within a historical perspective that identifies the coming into being of a new epistemology of the digital in architecture
