Book Description
Twenty-five years ago, Curtis Moody founded his architectural practice in an improvised office inside an old house in Columbus, Ohio, where a bathtub served as an ad-hoc drawings cabinet. As word spread of his outsized talent, Moody attracted a growing number of impressive clients and projects. Howard E. Nolan joined Moody in 1984, and newly formed Moody Nolan flourished. Today, Moody Nolan has become one of the fastest-growing architectural firms in the nation. Responsive Architecture presents the finest examples of Moody Nolan's recent work. The selection of photographs and technical drawings makes clear the firm's guiding design principles. Author Morris Newman explores the firm's consistent design ethos, centered on humane values and the notion ofresponsive architecture as a mode of inquiry. The book features a selection of recent work including the Jesse OwensMemorial Stadium and the Jerome Schottenstein Center, both exciting new campus buildings at Ohio State University. Theseand numerous other examples reveal an architecture that responds naturally to context and client needs while remainingengaged in complexities born from experiments in transparency, layering, and massing. Responsive Architecture: Moody Nolan Recent Work is a lesson in crafting unique, memorable responses for users and visitors, thereby ensuring work that will stand the test of time.

Responsive Landscapes
Author: Bradley E Cantrell
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317634055
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
The sensing, processing, and visualizing that are currently in development within the environment boldly change the ways design and maintenance of landscapes are perceived and conceptualised. This is the first book to rationalize interactive architecture and responsive technologies through the lens of contemporary landscape architectural theory. Responsive Landscapes frames a comprehensive view of design projects using responsive technologies and their relationship to landscape and environmental space. Divided into six insightful sections, the book frames the projects through the terms; elucidate, compress, displace, connect, ambient, and modify to present and construct a pragmatic framework in which to approach the integration of responsive technologies into landscape architecture. Complete with international case studies, the book explores the various approaches taken to utilise responsive technologies in current professional practice. This will serve as a reference for professionals, and academics looking to push the boundaries of landscape projects and seek inspiration for their design proposals.

Responsive Architectures
Author: Philip Beesley
Publisher: Cambridge, Ont. : Riverside Architectural Press
ISBN: 9780978097806
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book is about responsive architectures. The project is an exploration of the interconnectedness of what surrounds us. The focus of this collection is on a new generation of interactive systems within science, art and architecture that are based on constantly evolving relationships. Using a wide definition of architecture that includes both built and natural realms, we examine dynamic systems and environments of scales from molecules to cities. A responsive environment can be described as a networked structure that senses action within a field of attention and responds dynamically with programmed and designed logic. Focusing the issue of responsiveness more precisely within the field of architecture raises multiple questions: which parameters of such environments might a designer address in order to imaginatively employ their capacities for dynamic transform and interaction? These projects cast light on the subject of responsive architecture from diverse viewpoints derived from current architecture, science, and art practices. They examine the relation between a physical environment and its inhabitants and focus in particular on professional practice. How do responsive systems affect us? Scientific research, art and architecture come together in this multidisciplinary forum documenting the 2006 Subtle Technologies Festival of Art and Science. Subjects include electronic art and performance installations, research in cell structures and natural systems, and design of interactive buildings. Discussions include historical context and contemporary implications

Responsive Environments
Author: Sue McGlynn
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135143455
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
Clearly demonstrates the specific characteristics that make for comprehensible, friendly and controllable places; 'Responsive Environments' - as opposed to the alienating environments often imposed today. By means of sketches and diagrams, it shows how they may be designed in to places or buildings. This is a practical book about architecture and urban design. It is most concerned with the areas of design which most frequently go wrong and impresses the idea that ideals alone are not enough. Ideals must be linked through appropriate design ideas to the fabric of the built environemnt itself. This book is a practical attempt to show how this can be done.

Architectural Intelligence
Author: Molly Wright Steenson
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262037068
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
Architects who engaged with cybernetics, artificial intelligence, and other technologies poured the foundation for digital interactivity. In Architectural Intelligence, Molly Wright Steenson explores the work of four architects in the 1960s and 1970s who incorporated elements of interactivity into their work. Christopher Alexander, Richard Saul Wurman, Cedric Price, and Nicholas Negroponte and the MIT Architecture Machine Group all incorporated technologies—including cybernetics and artificial intelligence—into their work and influenced digital design practices from the late 1980s to the present day. Alexander, long before his famous 1977 book A Pattern Language, used computation and structure to visualize design problems; Wurman popularized the notion of “information architecture”; Price designed some of the first intelligent buildings; and Negroponte experimented with the ways people experience artificial intelligence, even at architectural scale. Steenson investigates how these architects pushed the boundaries of architecture—and how their technological experiments pushed the boundaries of technology. What did computational, cybernetic, and artificial intelligence researchers have to gain by engaging with architects and architectural problems? And what was this new space that emerged within these collaborations? At times, Steenson writes, the architects in this book characterized themselves as anti-architects and their work as anti-architecture. The projects Steenson examines mostly did not result in constructed buildings, but rather in design processes and tools, computer programs, interfaces, digital environments. Alexander, Wurman, Price, and Negroponte laid the foundation for many of our contemporary interactive practices, from information architecture to interaction design, from machine learning to smart cities.
