Preface : The stuff between, in, and around / Sean Lally & Jessica Young -- Introduction : Energies, matter and the gradients of space / Sean Lally -- Putting out the fire with gasoline / Christopher Hight -- Potential energies / Sean Lally Weathers -- The phenomena of the non-visual / Michelle Addington -- Nested capacities, gradient thresholds and modulated environments / Michael Hensel & Achim Menges -- Dissipative procedures / Open Source Architecture, Chandler Ahrens, Eran Neumann, and Aaron Sprecher -- Cybernetic anything... / Marcelyn Gow (servo) -- The archoid chimera / Tobi Schneidler (MAOworks) -- Ecologics / Helene Furján -- Matter and sense / Jason Payne & Heather Roberge (Gnuform) -- Postscript : This pipe is not a pipe dream / Lars Lerup -- Postscript : I, the scent cube and CSI / Bart Lootsma.
Summary: "Softspace explores the notion that technological innovations in fabrication and visualization available to architects and designers today don't simply streamline the production of preconceived ideas and forms, but have the potential to influence the formal, spatial, and social environments we construct and inhabit. The publication focuses on today's advancements in the way architects visualize and operate in the investigation of form and space. The book highlights the implications of these technologies on the organizational, spatial and social aspects that architects often neglect while in the pursuit of form fabrication today."--Publisher description.
