Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Computer-aided design (CAD) technology has already changed the practiceof architecture, and it has the potential to change it even more radically. WithArchitecture's New Media, Yehuda Kalay offers a comprehensive exposition of theprinciples, methods, and practices that underlie architectural computing. Hediscusses the aspects of information technology that are pertinent to architecturaldesign, analyzes the benefits and drawbacks of particular computational methods, andlooks at the potential of emerging computational techniques to affect the future ofarchitectural design.CAD technology, introduced in the postwar era and adopted ineveryday architectural practice beginning in the 1970s, is now so indispensablethat, as William Mitchell observes in his foreword, architectural practice withoutit is 'as unimaginable as writing without a word processor.' Yet, Kalay argues, ithas had little qualitative effect. This book provides a detailed introduction forpractitioners, educators, students, and researchers to aspects of CAD that go beyondthe improvements in drafting, modeling, and rendering for which it is commonly used.Computer-aided architectural design (CAAD) is capable of modeling and manipulatingobjects (not merely their graphical representations), reasoning about and predictingperformance of design solutions, generating new design solutions through algorithmicand other methods, managing vast amounts of information, and taking advantage ofopportunities offered by the Internet for collaboration across time and space andfor design of the virtual 'space' of the Internet itself.Architecture's New Mediacovers five main topics: design methods and computer technology and the relationshipbetween computers and design; the principles of communication and representation;generative design methods; the advantages of computational methods for predictingand evaluating the performance of design solutions; and current and futuredevelopments in technology, including collaborative design, intelligent designassistants, construction automation, and virtual design environments. A comprehensive examination of computer-aided architectural design and its potential effect on architectural design practice; for practitioners, educators, students, and researchers.…
