Includes bibliographical references.
Folding as a morphogenetic process in architectural design -- Transition 1: Matter and functions -- Transition 2: Algorithms -- Transition 3: Spatial, structural and organizational diagrams -- Transition 4: Architectural prototypes -- Folding architecture, concise genealogy of the practice -- Colophon.
A relatively new trend in architecture, folding is a playful method that opens up the design process to spontaneity and surprise. Folding Architecture presents the results of research into the technique, which was carried out in The Netherlands by the architectural faculty at the TU in Delft. It is an enlightening and inspiring survey that is vividly illustrated and presents all of the much-discussed concepts, projects and buildings in which this process has been applied. And as the book implies the possibilities are endless. Compulsory reference material for any architect or student of architecture who wishes to design outside of mainstream.
