(AD Smart) 1st Edition
by Hanif Kara (Author), Daniel Bosia (Author)
The contents of the book will
highlight the differences between the design and engineering disciplines
– strengths and flaws. It will also illustrate examples of
interdisciplinary interactions. Any false dichotomies will be revealed
and the many non-linear processes borne out of challenging conventions
between traditional and new modes of practice will be revealed. Projects
based on a body of experience spanning many years will be selected to
support experimentation that goes beyond an undisciplined search for
originality, innovation and creativity. In addition to writings from
Hanif Kara and Daniel Bosia contributions will be sought from
specialists in the field who have played a role in the operations of
P.art® at AKT II – past and present – qualifying them to disseminate and
distribute a particular form of ‘knowledge’.
- Features work
of architectural practices: Adjaye Associates, Foster + Partners,
Heatherwick Studio, HOK, Serie Architects, Wilkinson Eyre Architects and
Zaha Hadid Architects.
- In addition to AKT II, it will
encompass the work of engineers and engineering consultants such as:
Arup, Cecil Balmond, Buckminster Fuller, Buro Happold, Pier Luigi Nervi
and Peter Rice.
