Material Synthesis Fusing the Physical & the Computational Guest-edited by Achim Menges A new understanding of the material in architecture is fast emerging Designers are no longer conceiving of the digital realm as separate from the physical world Instead computation is being regarded as the key interface for material exploration & vice versa This represents a significant perceptual shift in which the materiality of architecture is no longer seen to be a fixed property & passive receptor of form but is transformed into an active generator of design & an adaptive agent of architectural performance In stark contrast to previous linear & mechanistic modes of fabrication & construction materialisation is now beginning to coexist with design as explorative robotic processes This represents a radical departure from both the trite modernist emphasis on 'truth to materials' & the dismissal of materials by the previous generation of digital architects The issue features designers researchers & thinkers that are at the forefront of exploring new modes of material enquiry & its deep interrelationship with technology biology & culture Through their work which unfolds from multifaceted alliances between the fields of design engineering & natural sciences it seeks to trace the emergence of a novel material culture in architecture Architectural & engineering contributors include Sean Ahlquist Martin Bechthold Philippe Block Karola Dierichs Jan Knippers Achim Menges Neri Oxman Steffen Reichert & Tobias Schwinn Scientific & philosophical perspectives provided by Mario Carpo Manuel De Landa Neil Gershenfeld & Thomas Speck Features the design research of Harvard's Material Processes & Systems Group MIT's Mediated Matter Group & Stuttgart University's Institute for Computational Design ...
