Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments

Since antiquity, the sciences have served as a source of images and metaphors for architecture and have had a direct influence on the shaping of built space. In recent years, architects have been looking again at science as a source of inspiration in the production of their designs and constructions. This volume evaluates the interconnections between the sciences and architecture from both historical and contemporary perspectives.

Architecture and the Sciences shows how scientific paradigms have migrated to architecture through the appropriation of organic and mechanical models. Conversely, architecture has provided images for scientific and technological discourse. Accordingly, this volume investigates the status of the exchanges between the two domains.Contents include: Alessandra Ponte, Desert Testing; Martin Bressani, Violet-le-Duc’s Optic; Georges Teyssot, Norm and Type: Variations on a Theme; Reinhold Martin, Organicism’s Other; Catherine Ingraham, Why All These Birds? Birds in the Sky, Birds in the Hand; Antoine Picon, Architecture, Science, Technology and the Virtual Realm; and Felicity Scott, Encounters with the Face of America.

Synopsis

The sciences have long served as a source of images and metaphors for architecture, frequently exerting a direct influence on the shaping of built space. In recent years, architects have turned with renewed vigor to science for design inspiration. Why is this? In what ways does the current appropriation of scientific methods and models, perspectives and paradigms, differ from those of the past? How did this migration of ideas from one field to the other begin, and what were its implications over time?

The essays in this volume examine various points of exchange between architecture and the sciences from both historical and contemporary perspectives. Written by leading scholars in the fields of both architecture and the history of science, they offer startling insights into the character and consequences of such interdisciplinary borrowings.
