Composites, Surfaces, and Software: High Performance Architecture (Paperback)

Paperback. Boat, airplane, and automobile design tools and software are now applied to architectural projects using robotics and high-strength, low-weight, carbon fiber composites. Greg Lynn's studio and Mark Foster Gage's seminar at Yale—with participants Frank Gehry, Lise Ann Couture, Chris Bangle, and Greg Foley, among others—generated a lively dialogue invigorating the future of design. How computer technologies and digital fabrication techniques give architects unprecedented tools for crafting performance and aesthetics through cross-disciplinary collaboration.
