Description
Data, Matter, Design Strategies in Computational Design presents a comprehensive overview of current design processes that rely on data and computational design strategies. Technological changes have radically altered our relationship to cities and design methods, transforming how we approach architecture, urban, and landscape systems. The book showcases curated projects and contributed texts by leading architects, urbanists, and designers who explore the use of data in spatial, experiential, and performative configurations within urban ecologies. Richly illustrated with over 200 images, Data, Matter, Design provides a valuable resource for students, academics, and professionals to evaluate and discuss the evolution of data in design methodologies. By examining processes such as data collection, measurement, quantification, simulation, algorithmic control, and their integration into methods of reading and producing spatial conditions, this book highlights why these approaches are becoming vital in academic and industry practices.
