Abstract
Virtual technologies, such as AI and parametric protocols, can mash-up infinite architectural forms in infinite configurations. Perhaps it is beneficial for students to concentrate on the real world for a while. Architectural educator Caleb White teaches at the Weitzman School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute School of Architecture, where he guides students to examine machines, their vectors, geometries and components, as a means to re-engage the physicality of reality. Here, he explains his architectural agenda and shows some of the fruits of his students’ labours.
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.
