Abstract
When thinking about contemporary machinic architecture, often one imagines the sort of buildings that might be described as high-tech: full of ductwork, hydraulic struts, pistons, and sleek, metallic, shiny carapaces. Yet there are other ways to invoke the machine in more human-friendly manifestations. Tom Kundig and his design practice Olson Kundig have spent much of their time exploring age-old technologies – the hinge, the wheel and the pulley, for example – to create architecture that does not alienate people, but instead engages and facilitates them in transformational, spatial activities.
期刊介绍：
Provocative and inspirational, AD inspires theoretical, creative and technological advances. It questions the outcome of technical innovations as well as the far-reaching social, cultural and environmental challenges that present themselves today. -Having taken a pivotal role in the digital revolution in architecture in the 90s, AD provides must-have, cutting-edge content for students of architecture, academics and architects globally -Provides one of the most penetrating, insightful and in-depth views of key architectural topics today. Dares to ask why things are as they are, as well as tracing the latest trends. -One of the only truly international perspectives on architecture. It draws together worldwide architectural currents, regularly featuring work and practices from the UK, Europe, Americas, Asia and Australia. -Fully illustrated throughout in colour, AD provides an essential visual reference for architects and students. Each issue is individually art directed and designed to visually inspire.
