Designing Material Materialising Design focuses on the design of
elastically tailored composite architectural structures. Emerging
technologies around synthetic materials can now support the precise
specification of materials and their properties. This book moves away
the conception of material as an unresisting receptacle for forms
determined in advance to explore the architectural implications of
synthetic materials and design methods for calibrated material
behaviour. It includes case studies developed at the Center for
Information Technology and Architecture (CITA) at the Royal Danish
Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture in Copenhagen. Novel
concepts and operational models are illustrated that specify and
materialise causal relationships between configuration and
transformation. These projects reveal a new locus of architectural
instruction that require new kinds of design information, new
representational models, and different modes of design control.
