Contributor(s): Haddad, Elie | Kulby, David | Menassa, Cindy | Reisinger, Geo | Seidel, Adeline.
Publisher: Amsterdam BIS Publishers 2012Description: 159p. | Binding - Card Paper | 15*10.6 cm.ISBN: 9789063692872.Subject(s): MODELS, SITE PLANNING, DRAWINGS (AR-DRW)DDC classification: 720.285 AGK Summary: This is a new title in the successful Architecture and Design Experiments Series edited by the author of Modular Structures in design and architecture and Digital Manufacturing in design and architecture. Computational Architecture showcases many form studies using digital tools and techniques like twisting, lofting, triangulating, drilling, knotting and framing. These techniques are used systematically to explore spatial, structural and geometrical conditions, leading to the emergence of abstract prototypes. As a second step each prototype is used to generate architectural solutions, enriched with data from site analysis and specific building programs.
About Asterios Agkathidis:
Asterios Agkathidis studied architecture in the AU Thessaloniki and the RWTH Aachen, completing his postgraduate studies in Advanced Architectural Design at the Staedelschule Architecture Class (Frankfurt). He became a partner at b&k+ (Cologne), then worked for VMX architects (Amsterdam). He later founded the architecture and research laboratory a3lab Frankfurt-Thessaloniki and has been planning and realizing projects around the world since then.
