Expressive Form: A Conceptual Approach to Computational Design

With the growth of computing, architecture has found many possible uses for computers. Kostas Terzidis sets out to make sense of that spread by combining theoretical enquiry with practical implementation.

The book looks at the use of computers in architectural form and design from several angles. Ideas such as the hybrid, the kinetic, the algorithmic, the fold and the warp are taken up from historical, mathematical, philosophical and critical angles.

Architects, designers and students of computational design who want a conceptual grounding alongside practical methods will find the book useful.
