Architecture and Science

From the content:
Introductory essay by Giuseppa Di Cristina, followed by project presentations from issues of Architectural Design:Folding in Architecture (focusing on the assumption of the mathematical notion of topology as a fundamental element of curved,folding,self-generating, and dynamic architecture - an architecture of change capable of creating complex time-space relations).Hypersurface Architecture (focusing on hyper-surface architecture, which is a complex hybrid condition of the traditional interrelation among categories such as inside/outside, ground/building, organic/inorganic, structure/ornament, etc.).Sci-Fi Architecture (focusing on topological space in architecture - an alternative space inspired by science.).Integrating Architecture (focusing on topological shapes, which are an expression of an extra-disciplinary condition and bring architecture into a wider circuit of cultural events).Architects in Cyberspace (focusing on the development of computer techn ology which has enhanced the topological exploration of architectural form - the transfer of virtual space to real space enables a new way of conceiving space in architecture).
