Techniques + Technologies in ic Design
Guest-edited by Michael Hensel, Achim Menges and Michael Weinstock
This issue of 3 introduces a new approach to architectural practice based on the interrelationship of emer-
gence and anisation concepts. A sequel to the essful Emergence: ic Design Strategies title by
4 the same guest-editors, it advances on the previous publication by taking on board the latest developments for
fully integrated design evolution, manufacturing and construction.
Techniques + Technologies in
ic Emergence requires the recognition of architectural structures not as singular and fixed bodies, but -
Design plex energy and material systems that have a lifespan, exist as part of the environment of other active systems,
and as an iteration of a series that proceeds by evolutionary development. Thus the focal point of this issue will
be the exploration of techniques and technologies that enable the implementation of such ic
strategies, requiring a new set of intellectual and practical skills. Though the publication stands alone as an
investigation and presentation of cutting-edge techniques and technologies within the design and construction
field, supported by examples from adjacent industries, it also introduces a new springboard for understanding
and re
