Sinossi

This book examines morphogenetic processes based on a combination of digital and analogue modeling and manufacturing techniques. These modules can in many cases be translated into architectural designs. They show an exciting new avenues in educational motivation, using a systematic architectural approach as well as an understanding of complex geometries.

Informazioni sull?autore

Asterios Agkathidis studied architecture in Thessaloniki and completed postgraduate studies in Advanced Architectural Design in Frankfurt. He became a partner in the architectural practice b&k+ in Cologne until 2004, then at VMX architects, Amsterdam, until 2005. He founded the research laboratory a3lab and teaches at the Technical University of Darmstadt, where he is currently working on his PhD.

Dalla quarta di copertina

This book examines morphogenetic processes based on a combination of digital and analogue modeling and manufacturing techniques. Traditional physical modelling techniques were combined with digital 3d modelling and manufacturing technologies, informing the emerging constructs with additional components. These modules can in many cases be translated into architectural designs. They operate as precursors of architecture to come.

These visual studies have been produced in the academic context of the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany). The produced output proves not only to be an exciting new way in educational motivation and systematic architectural approach, but also serves as an important step of intruducing (future) architects into the understanding and handling of complex geometries and novel CAD / CAM technologies.

Asterios (born 1974) studied architecture in the Aristotle Univ. of Thessaloniki, the RWTH (Aachen) and the Staedelschule (Frankfurt). He was a partner in the architectural practice b&k+ (Cologne, 2001- 04), and then worked for VMX architects (Amsterdam) until 2005. He founded the architecture and research laboratory a3lab Frankfurt - Thessaloniki, in the same year. Since then he has been practicing architecture and design publishing, exhibiting, winning prizes and realizing projects throughout Europe. Teaching and lecturing experiences include AdbK Nuremberg, TU Darmstadt, the Univ. of Thessaloniki, the Univ. of Bielefeld, the Columbia Univ. and the Staedelschule. He is currently Visiting Associate Professor in the Lebanese American University.
