Riassunto

This issue of AD introduces a new approach to architecturalpractice based on the interrelationship of emergence andself-organisation concepts. A sequence to the successful Emergence:Morphogenetic Design Strategies title by the same guest-editors, itadvances on the previous publication by taking on board the latestdevelopments for fully integrated design evolution, manufacturingand construction.

Emergence requires the recognition of architectural structures notas singular and fixed bodies, but as complex energy and materialsystems that have a lifespan, exist as part of the environment ofother active systems, and as an iteration of a series that proceedsby evolutionary development. Thus the focal point of this issuewill be the exploration of techniques and technologies that enablethe implementation of such morphogenetic strategies, requiring anew set of intellectual and practical skills. Though thepublication stands alone as an investigation and presentation ofcutting-edge techniques and technologies within the design andconstruction field supported by examples from adjacent industries,it also introduces a new springboard for understanding andrethinking the radical changes in which architecture is now beingconceived, designed and produced. While representing a timelyexploration of the embedding of techniques and technology in analternative design approach, it also presents wholly new strategiesfor tackling issues of sustainability.
