This title focuses on the radical evolution of computational and material technologies that, in the last 25 years, have catalysed one of the most creative and prolific periods in architecture since the early 20th century. The book explores a dominant logic and set of morphological traits transformed through advanced computational and material practices. These themes are theoretically explored and elaborated through the presentation of 140 built works and experimental architectural projects.These projects 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 artefacts in flux, whose formation, methods, and tools, as well as their experience, perception, and meaning are necessarily tiedto a broader field of cultural production, contributing to the dynamic generation of new architectural and urban models.The book is organised thematically and presents 63 built works and experimental architectural projects, which are then expanded through analytical and generative diagrams and models developed for this publication that further the design potential of the parametric logics used to create them. The book is a fascinating exploration of the impact of digital technologies on architecture and how they are transforming the way we conceive and construct spaces and materials.
