(2005): Tooling, Princeton Architectural Press<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Is it to &#8216;find form&#8217; or to &#8216;force form&#8217;? In their book &#8216;Tooling&#8217; Benjamin Aranda and Chris Lasch experience many new aspects of computergenerated design.</p>
<p>It is an experimental approach. The authors try to enhance the diversity of form to free themselves from the stringent will to force a special form. To the authors opinion, you are able to begin the design process at the stage, when you define this field open and free at last.</p>
<p>After preface and introduction there are seven interesting chapters; &#8216;Spiraling&#8217;, &#8216;Packing&#8217;, &#8216;Weaving&#8217;, &#8216;Blending&#8217;, &#8216;Cracking&#8217;, &#8216;Flocking&#8217; und &#8216;Tiling&#8217;. In every chapter the reader will find different algorithms and construction methods. Additionally there are shown corresponding studies on design and related projects (<a href="http://arandalasch.com/about/profile/">http://arandalasch.com/about/profile/</a>).</p>
<p>Graphics, Images and Text remain reluctant in black and white. Spirals twirl into the midnight space. Woven webs depict as 3d rapid prototyping models. A museum design presents itself as a fractal. &#8216;Camouflage View&#8217; &#8211; a perforated and mirrored wall alienates the view to the outside into the woods.</p>
<p>The liberation from form and space is the subject of many related works. New and rare, however, is the research for a systemization and orientation in an exploding computergenerated diversity of forms. This specific research is very valuable. What must come up next might be the intelligent and computer aided selection of form.</p>
<p>Nevertheless this book invites all designers to experiment further and to explore a relatively new and wide open field.</p>

<p>&#8220;Ich bin ihnen wieder &#8230; begegnet, &#8230; , auf einer almartigen Wiese, die man zunächst als Lichtung erlebt. Sie standen zusammengerottet in zwei weit voneinander entfernten Gruppen, dicht aneinandergedrängt, abwehrend, als wollten sie sich verteidigen.&#8221;</p>

<p>Das “Neue Wien” der 1920er und frühen 1930er Jahre war ein einzigartiges gesellschaftspolitisches Experiment, das sämtliche Lebensbereiche der Menschen erfasste – von der Sozial- und Gesundheitspolitik über das Bildungswesen bis zum Wohnbau. Die Dauerausstellung “Das Rote Wien im Waschsalon Karl-Marx-Hof” widmet sich dieser aufregenden Epoche in der Geschichte unserer Stadt.</p>

<p>Do computers dream? In this book the japanese architect Makoto Sei Watanabe shows interesting perspectives of computergenerated design. Computerprograms design our cities and houses on their own; they analyze and recognize situations and generate solutions for complex surroundings. Watanabe intends ‚Induction Design’ to be a kind of ‚Evolutionary Design’ and describes the computer as an extension of the human brain. In spite of ordinary design, he is not interested in a spezial architectonic form, but in the complex structure of the design process itself. The aim of his research is to bring design closer to science.</p>
<p>This book is an Odyssey toward a new design method, which promises to design our cities and architecture in a better way. It shows the stepwise development of Watanabe´s research. Like in a soft evolutionary process errors will be eliminated and successful paths will be deepened. The perspective, the access and the vocabulary can be understood especially by architects, designers, people interested in computers and scientists. The result is a remarkable view into the future of computergenerated design.</p>
<p>The basis for Watanabe´s research ist he simple theoretical principle inside the complex form. Are there „&#8230; simple principles hidden within what appears to be utter disorder ?“, he asks the reader. As examples he presents the growth of trees and fish according to similar, simple algorithms. He shows fractal analysis of cities silhouettes and questions these pictures according to ‚Horton´s Law’, a common basis for many natural phenomena.</p>
<p>Afterwards Watanabe presents his research up to now. He describes the different phases of the ‚Induction Cities Project’; there were first experimental trials at the beginning of the 90ies, later the development of design programs for structural city planning. The ‚Sun-God City’, ‚Generated City Blocks’, ‚City of Hills’, ‚Sun-God City-2’, die ‚Wind-God City’ and the ‚On-Demand City’ were developed. His topical project ‚Subway Station Iidabashi’ will be the first architectural project realized by the method of ‚Induction Design’. The Computer generates possibilities of a spatial framework (‚web frame’), according to the given surroundings:</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;The Architectural Seed germinates deep in the ground, 35 meters below the city (Seeking more water, more light &#8230;). After a time, its underground stem reaches the surface and there, a flower blooms. This is called ‚wing’.“</strong> &#8211; Makoto Sei Watanabe</em></p>
<p>What will bring the future? Watanabe predicts the development of intelligent CAD-programs (‚i-CAD’ or ‚agent CAD’). Like a personal assistant, the software recognizes the aimed design and makes indivudual proposals for different solutions.</p>
<p>At the time Watanabe experiments with programs, dealing with so called ‚soft’ or ‚emotional’ factors in the design process. It might be interesting to wait fort he realization of the ‚Tukuba Express Projekts’, a computergenerated circuit between a ‚Generation Module’ and an ‚Evaluation Module’.</p>
<p><em><strong>„ &#8230; the purpose is not to discover form. The purpose is to discover ways of making cities and architecture that provide better solutions to the problems facing the world while at the same time offering greater freedom to the imagination.“</strong> &#8211; Makoto Sei Watanabe</em></p>
<p>Makoto Sei Watanabe was born in Yokohama in 1952, graduated from Yokohama National University in 1976. In 1979 he joined Arata Isozaki &amp; Associates in Tokyo and in 1984 he established Makoto Sei Watanabe / Architects Office. He is a lecturer at Tokyo Denki University, Hosei University and Yokohama National University.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Genomic Architecture, Darwin und Goethe</strong></p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-1821" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.scienceviz.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/150920_Organic_01.jpg?resize=256%2C345&#038;ssl=1" alt="150920_Organic_01" width="256" height="345" />Das vorliegende Buch ‚The Organic Approach to Architecture’ entstand aus einem Symposion am Pratt Institute School of Architecture in New York. Beim ersten Durchblättern stößt man auf bekannte Namen: Kenneth Frampton und Thomas Hanrahan (The Un-Private House, New York 1999). Die Herausgeberinnen Deborah Gans und Zehra Kuz nähern sich dem interessanten Thema auf unterschiedliche Weise.</p>
<p>Die Absicht des Buches ist relativ weit und eher unscharf gefasst. Gans und Kuz versuchen aktuelle Probleme der Architektur in Hinblick auf ihre verschiedenen Umgebungen (environment) zu benennen. Sie unterscheiden dabei Beziehungen zum ‚natural enviroment’, der ‚megalopolis and its concomitant sprawl’ und zum ‚virtual environment’. Das Ergebnis ist eine eher lockere Zusammenstellung von Symposionsbeiträgen zu Kunst- und Architekturtheorie, Projektdokumentationen, Statements der Herausgeberinnen und Panel Discussions.</p>
<p>Gans versucht sich am Begriff des ‚Organischen’ (organic) und arbeitet einige interessante Verflechtungen aus. Verflechtungen zur ‚Dynamischen Form’, zur Morphogenese, der ewig veränderlichen Gebäudefunktion, zum Futurismus, zur Demokratie und zum Ereignis (event). Von Hegel ist die Rede, von Darwin und von Goethes Fisch. Zehra Kuz formuliert anschließend einige funktionalistische Aspekte des ‚Organischen’; Hugo Häring, Frei Otto, das ‚Formfinden’ in der Architektur gegenüber dem ‚Formwollen’. Relativ offen gliedert sich das Buch danach in drei Abschnitte, wovon jeder mit einer ‚Panel Discussion’ beendet wird.</p>
<p>In ‚Evolution and lines of descent’ präsentiert Behnisch sein Werk, Zehra Kuz fragt nach der ‚Physiognomie der neuen Architektur’ und zeigt Scharoun. Eeva Pelkonen referiert zu ‚Alvar Aaltos Approach to Organicism’ und Ahmet Omurtag fragt: ‚Was ist ein Organismus ?’<br />
‚Transformations’ zeigt Gienckes gläsernes Gewächshaus in Graz, einen sehr interessanten Beitrag zu ‚Organicism’ und zur ‚Liquid Villa’ von William Katavolos, neben Beiträgen von John Johansen und Tim Brigham eine interessante Perspektive zur ‚Genomic Architecture’ von Haresh Lalvani, ‚Lightness and Movement’ von Todd Dalland und dem ‚Environmental Flow’ von Mahadev Raman.</p>
<p>In ‚Organ-i-city’ sucht John Johansen nach ‚Organic Contexts’, textlastig präsentiert Kanneth Frampton die ‚Organic Organ-i-city’.</p>
<p>Deborah Gans ist Professorin am Pratt Institute School of Architecture in New York und Partnerin im Architekturbüro Gans &amp; Jelacic. Die nun vorliegende Arbeit ist das bisher zweite Buch der Autorin, neben anderen Veröffentlichungen. (‚Table talk’ – a discussion of Michael Graves´ set for the ballet „Fire“ / Princeton Journal 1983; ‚Le Corbusier Guide / Le Corbusier – Guida completa’ / Princeton Architectural Press 2000)</p>
<p>Zehra Kuz ist Partnerin des Oasis Design Lab in New York und unterrichtet ebenfalls als Professorin am Pratt Institute School of Architecture.</p>
<p>Es ist ein Buch für alle Geisteswissenschafter und Interessierte, Architektur- und Kunsttheoretiker. Beeindruckend ist die umfassende Materialfülle, sind amorphe Computergraphiken und die Darstellung historischer und aktueller Projekte. Es entstehen interessante künstlerisch-philosophische Assoziationen, aber kein klares Bild des konkreten Problems, geschweige denn einer Lösung.</p>
<p>Es ist allerdings ein Buch zum Nachdenken, offen für einen anregenden fachlichen Diskurs, der in einer wissenschaftlich enger gefassten Form weitere, interessante Ergebnisse bringen kann.</p>
