Anwender aus Praxis und Lehre beschreiben den heutigen Stand der Möglichkeiten, Nutzungen und Erfahrungen mit dem Einsatz digitaler Techniken in der Architektur. Die gesamten Prozesse von Planung, Entwurf und Realisierung entwickeln sich in diesen Jahren zu einem übergreifenden Workflow. Die Grundlage dafür bildet die Informationstechnologie, in deren Rahmen sämtliche Vorgänge integriert werden. Zielpunkt dieser Entwicklung ist die digitale Konstruktion eines einheitlichen, leicht zugänglichen und kontinuierlich veränderbaren Gesamtmodells für ein Projekt. Es begleitet den Workflow des Architekten vom Entwurf über die Ausführungsplanung bis hin zur digitalen Fabrikation und wird beständig von allen beteiligten Professionen, Industrien und Gewerken genutzt und ergänzt.
Treibende Kraft dieser Entwicklung ist die digitale Fabrikation: die unmittelbare Herstellung von Bauteilen aus den digitalen Entwurfsdaten. Von diesem Schritt im Workflow aus werden sowohl die vorausgehenden digitalen Entwurfsschritte als auch die Projektorganisation und -realisierung in Kooperation mit der Bauindustrie mitbestimmt. Entsprechend hat das Buch drei Teile: Designing Design, Designing Assembly und Designing Industry. In jedem Teil werden die Methoden, Werkzeuge und Technologien dargestellt sowie Berichte aus Praxis und Lehre zu wichtigen Anwendungen, Problemen und Zusammenhängen gegeben. Zu den Beiträgern gehören Vertreter international führender Entwickler und Anwender, unter ihnen Gehry Technologies, Grimshaw Computational Design Unit, designtoproduction, Autodesk, die University of California, Ben van Berkel, Thom Mayne und Barkow Leibinger.
Die Qualität, Struktur und Aktualität des Buches machen es zu einem unersetzlichen Referenzwerk über das vorherrschende Leitmodell für Architektur und Bauwesen.
The logics of digital processes in architecture have begun to structure the way that architects design, the way that builders build, and the way that industry is reorganizing. The process of architectural design has become a complex workflow. At the core of the shift toward more expansive forms of digital production within the design and construction industry is the integration of communication through digital networks. The goal is to develop a continuous, easily accessible and parametrically adaptable body of information that coordinates the process from design through a building’s lifecycle. Organized around the key fields of Designing Design, Designing Assembly and Designing Industry, this book is a reference work on digital technologies as key factors in architectural design, fabrication and workflow organization. It presents essays and case studies from some of the leading voices on the topic.
