This volume seeks to offer an overview of the impact of new computational techniques and scripting in particular on contemporary architectural design, by providing a snapshot of the latest developments in the field. Contributors to this volume range from progressive, commercial practices such as Zaha Hadid Architects, to experimental firms, such as Kokkugia and Biothing, and from inspired engineers, such as Buro Happold, to leading schools of architecture, such as the Architectural Association, USC and Harvard GSD. But the common thread throughout is an attempt to make a significant contribution to the rapidly developing field of computational design.
