SpringerBriefs in Architectural Design and Technology Patterns of Interaction - Pia Fricker Toni Kotnik Kartoniert (TB)

This book is a reflection on contemporary computational design thinking at the intersection of architecture urban design and landscape architecture in a time marked by complex challenges like climate change urbanization and population growth. Based on a critical rethinking of the notion of ground and the relation between the manmade and the natural environment an understanding of architecture as regenerative practice is proposed. It aims at a built environment as landscape at an architecture of prosthetic nature. The design approach is illustrated by a number of design experiments conduc ted within a studio setting and complemented by a series of conversations with leading experts on sustainable design and landscape architecture.
