Abstract

"The architectural design process starts with the creation of an object that represents a practical interpretation of a precise, design-specific theme. The choice of material, its manufacture and processing have a significant influence on the expression of an object and vice versa. As part of an experiment with isolated aspects such as localization, scale, function, circulation, and points of intersection, the objects become the associative raw material for the architectural design. Step-by-step, the sculptural figures that contain an individual signature each become a house. This procedure generates questions and conflicts that lead to new ideas with regard to form, structure, and space. As a three-dimensional sketch, the object makes the design process, which is characterized by everyday experience, stored images, and lucky coincidence, analog and tangible. The werkstück, literally translated as “work-piece,” is a vehicle through which ideas from the mind can be physically expressed"--Back cover.

Abstract

Forschung in und über Architektur ist so komplex wie die Disziplin mit ihren Fachgebieten selbst, und oft bleiben die Ergebnisse deshalb separat. Der Band Research Culture in Architecture vereint digitale und analoge Forschungsfragen und zeigt, wie wichtig cross-disziplinäres Zusammenarbeiten in der Architektur heute ist. Die Komplexität und die zunehmende Spezialisierung werden in den einzelnen Kapiteln entfaltet und anschließend mit dem Kern der Architektur, dem Entwerfen, verknüpft. Wissenschaftler aus Theorie und Praxis präsentieren Forschungsergebnisse zu folgenden Themenfeldern: "Entwurfsmethodik", "Architektonischer Raum, Wahrnehmung und menschlicher Körper", "analoge und digitale Holzkonstruktionen", "Visualisierung", "Robotik", "Architekturpraxis und Forschung" sowie "Nachhaltigkeit". Research in and on architecture is as complex as the discipline itself with its different specialist fields, and therefore the results often remain unconnected.Research Culture in Architecture combines digital and analog research issues and demonstrates how important cross-disciplinary cooperation in architecture is today. The complexity and increasing specialization are elaborated on in the various chapters and then linked to the core of architecture, i.e. design.Scientists from the theoretical and practical fields present research results in the following subjects: "design methodology", "architectural space, perception, and the human body", "analog and digital timber construction", "visualization", "robotics", "architectural practice and research", and "sustainability".
