Theoretical Meltdown

Guest-edited by Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi

If the 20th century can be characterised by theories and manifestoes, which emanated across every

sphere of life from politics to the fine arts, the beginning of the 21st century can be distinguished by

its very break from theory. This effective ‘theoretical meltdown’ has manifested itself in a period of

uncertainty, which can be perceived in the way disciplines coalesce with each other and blur their

parameters: fine art becoming indistinct from advertising imagery; architecture incorporating commu-

nication techniques; and sculpture dealing with living spaces; while architecture reshapes fragments

of the natural environment.

•The issue topicaly cals the contemporary situation in architecture to account.

•Features writings by and interviews with some of the most remarkable protagonists of the debate:

Ole Bouman, Ricardo Diller & Elizabeth Scofidio, Neil Leach, Bernard Tschumi and Robert Venturi

and Denise Scott Brown.

•Acts as a barometer to architectural design, inviting 10 international critics to highight the most

relevant current work.

Closing the Gap: Information Models in Contemporary Design Practice

Guest-edited by Richard Garber

By closing the gap between conceptual design and the documentation required for construction,

Building Information Models (BIMs) promise to revolutionise contemporary design practice. This issue

of ADbrings together a group of pioneering academics, architects, engineers and construction man-

agers all of whom are engaged in the use of BIMs in the actualisation of complex building projects,

from design stage to construction. Key texts trace the development of building information modelling

technologies and address issues of collaboration, design and management, while featured projects

systematise the use of BIMs in contemporary design practice for students and professionals alike

faced with considering these tools within the changing marketplace.

•Covers a key area of technological development: BIM systems that span the gap between the

design and construction processes.

•Key contributions from: Chuck Eastman, Cynthia Ottchen at OMA and Dennis Shelden of Gehry

Technologies.

•Features work by: Asymptote, Gauthier Architects, KieranTimberlake Associates, Morphosis and

SHoP Architects.

Energies: New Material Boundaries

Guest-edited by Sean Lally

At present, material energies – that is, thermal variation, air velocity, spectrums of light and electricity –

remain a largely untapped source of innovation and inspiration for architects. Commonly relegated to

the production of ambience – ‘moods’ or ‘effects’ – energies tend to be explored, in a design context,

as little more than metaphors or poetics. Alternatively, they are regarded wholly as a resource for pro-

viding preconceived, rule-of-thumb interior comfort zones or as a set of measurables for determining

‘energy-efficient’ buildings. Energieslooks at ways of elevating these materials from their dependence

on surfaces and services, and in so doing, deploying them as building materials in themselves, thus

redefining our physical boundaries through a wholly new means of spatial organisation.

•The pubication propels the sustainabity debate forward by making ‘material energies’ the catalyst

for experimental design.

•The issue deals with a wide range of scales of design, from architecture to bulding design, and

that of landscape and urban planning.

•Contributors include Michele Addington, Petra Blaisse, Penelope Dean, Helene Furjan, An Te Liu,

Zbigniew Oksiuta, Philippe Rahm, RE Somol and WEATHERS.
