The Digital Art of Architectural and Engineering Design

There is currently a strong drive towards innovative digital knowledge-based processes in the construction industry, which in turn are enabling designers and contractors to become more competitive without sacrificing creativity. Conventional design processes will be radically overhauled in the next few years as a consequence of this trend.

The Digital Art of Architectural and Engineering Design explores the extent to which digital technologies are breaking down the barriers between architecture and engineering, making possible a genuine integration of the many interrelated aspects of design and construction. The book takes an in-depth look at particular digital techniques and their implementations, which are dramatically changing the nature of the design process itself, and illustrates this with a set of case studies that could not have been developed without the application of leading-edge digital design techniques.
