Rather, the heterogenous products of this period, organized in this book through a taxonomy of eight themes--\u003ci\u003eStacked Aggregates, Modular Assemblages, Pixelated Fields, Cellular Clusters, Serial Iterations, Woven Meshes, Emergent Surfaces, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMulti-Agent Networks\u003c\/i\u003e--each of which explores a dominant logic and set of morphological traits, reflect the complexity of advancing tools, logics, and systems whose evolution continues to breed new evolutionary types and an unlimited diversity of architectural species. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese themes are theoretically explored and elaborated through the presentation of 145 built works and experimental architectural projects, which are then expanded through analytical and generative diagrams and models that further the design potential of the logics used to create them. Within the book, the architectures presented are considered as a population of objects responsible for the evolution of something that far exceeds the trajectory of a single project. They are thus explored less as autonomous works than as a collection of interrelated and interacting cultural artifacts in flux, whose formation, methods, and tools, as well as their experience, perception, and meaning are necessarily tied to a broader field of cultural production, contributing to the dynamic generation of new architectural and urban models.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 11.8 x 9.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 24, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42725802573887,"sku":"9781940743004","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/280fb99be44ee9e5c720f43778bf6367.webp?v=1765108010","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/flux-architecture-in-a-parametric-landscape-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
