Anastasios Tellios (editor),

Agile Design: Advanced Architectural Cultures

CND Publications, Thessaloniki, 2014

ISBN 978 960 88610 9 1

Agile Design approaches the astonishing world of new design capabilities and advanced techniques in modeling and fabrication that are reshaping architecture. Agile Design is design in a state of constant, intellectual polyvalence while at the same time attempting to claim scientific validity and communicative integrity. Spectacular, innovative and often stylish manifestations of rampant design technologies are there. It describes how gradually, yet persistently, a set of profoundly advanced architectural cultures is being established, conveying aspects of a new and promising paradigm for architecture.

This book is a collection of contributions by designers, theorists, educators and practitioners of architecture, all of whom hold more than one of these identities. It is articulated in three parts: Documentation of tools and matter, Dimensions of nature and life, Research on context and culture.
