The book features contributions from Spanish, Catalan, French, British, and American specialists in architecture, science, and philosophy: Alberto T. Estévez, Josep Corcó, Dennis Dollens, Bernard Cache, Michael Hensel, Neil Leach, Agustí Fontarnau, and Judith Urbano. Their works and words are set in a framework of illustrated projects developed in the Genetic Architectures and BioDigital master program at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Barcelona.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe experimental research in \u003ci\u003eGAIII\u003c\/i\u003e is algorithmically generative, scripted, and parametric, stemming from collaborations between design, science, and nature—specifically between biology and architecture. Projects, illustrated with full-scale examples, are modeled and\/or fabricated with CNC and rapid prototyping technologies. While some of the works and discussions are speculative and hypothetical, others focus on morphological and anatomical structural transformations fully realizable today; still others incorporate advanced visualization and techniques from science and nature that lend themselves to extrapolation for today’s design studios and classrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnthinkable only a few years ago, biologically living buildings or parts of buildings collaborating with sensor networks and actuator\/robotic controls are the stuff of advanced experimentation and building research taking place at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya’s Barcelona campus’ Genetic Architectures and BioDigital master programs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lumen Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008561004784,"sku":"9780930829681","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780930829681_p0.jpg?v=1763857875","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780930829681","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
