Softspace: From a Representation of Form to a Simulation of Space

This well-illustrated book unites essayists and emerging architectural practices to examine how digital tools are increasingly being used in architectural design, not only to show form, structure and geometries but also to visualize and simulate energies and material qualities such as air, gas, sound, scent and electricity. Softspace takes stock of current advancements in design and research, while drawing on historical and ideological trajectories rooted in the past fifty years. The varied contributors examine the capabilities of such ‘energy matters’ to act as catalysts for design innovation today. This well-presented and impressively authored title will provoke architects of all levels to consider the potential for creative and innovative design through the use of digital design tools.Additional ISBNs9780415402019, 9780203967133, 9781280847929Softspace: From a Representation of Form to a Simulation of Space 1st Edition is written by Sean Lally; Jessica Young and published by Routledge.
