Description
High-performance architecture for the 21st century is explored in this multidisciplinary approach to cutting-edge technology. Students at a Yale studio led by Greg Lynn and Mark Gage designed innovative facilities, drawing inspiration from the competitive sailing industry. This book showcases their projects, alongside essays and work by other leading architects, demonstrating how shared materials, tools, and techniques can strengthen connections between automotive and aeronautic design, boatbuilding, and architecture. The intersection of technology, aesthetics, and function is a key theme in this book, highlighting the potential for high-tech cross-pollination across industries. By examining the intersections between these fields, readers will gain insight into the latest developments in performative technology. With contributions from leading architects, including Frank Gehry, Lise Anne Couture, and Chris Bangle, this book offers a unique perspective on the future of architecture and design.
