Computational design has become widely accepted into mainstream architecture; but this is the first book to advocate applying it to create adaptable masterplans for rapid urban growth; urban heterogeneity; through computational urbanism. Practitioners and researchers here discuss ideas from the fields of architecture; urbanism; the natural sciences; computer science; economics; and mathematics to find solutions for managing urban change in Asia and developing countries throughout the world. Divided into four parts (historical and theoretical background; our current situation; methodologies; and prototypical practices); the book includes a series of essays; interviews; built case studies; and original research to accompany chapters written by editor Tom Verebes to give you the most comprehensive overview of this approach.Essays by Marina Lathouri; Jorge Fiori; Jonathan Solomon; Patrik Schumacher; Peter Trummer; and David Jason Gerber. Interviews with Dana Cuff; Xu Wei Guo; Matthew Prior; Tom Barker; Su Yunsheng; and Brett Steele. Built case studies by Zaha Hadid Architects; James Corner Field Operations; XWG Studio; MAD; OCEAN Consultancy Network; Plasma Studio; Groundlab; Peter Trummer; Serie Architects; dotA; and Rocker-Lange Architects.

Really left field; mostly really fascinating. Strictly for serious fans of architecture and design. NOT a coffee table book; quite small in size; all about the words with small illustrations and photos.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Informative for specific topicBy M.L. HardingI saw this in a museum book store after an exhibit; but other more glamorous purchases took my cash. I bought this after the glitter settled and glad I did. It is full of info and explains motivations which are not obvious and now I see in all objects what drove an entire era. I love these types of in depth " thats so cool; I didnt know that" books. I am so glad I bought it!
