The new structuralism: design, engineering and architectural technologies

Today the convergence of design, engineering and architectural technologies are breeding a new material practice in experimental architecture. The significant emphasis on the structuring logic of tectonics is resulting in a new structuralism in design. In this pioneering publication, this important shift is fully defined as a highly dynamic synthesis of emerging principles of spatial, structural and material ordering integrated through the application of materialisation and fabrication technologies. Providing the foundations for a new theory of structuring in architecture, The New Structuralism has broad implications for the way we both conceive and undertake architectural design, as its impact starts to emanate not only across education internationally, but also through architectural research and practice.
