the historical, vernacular and parametric,this title explores the creation, materialisation and theorisationof some of the world's most significant and spectacularly patternedspaces. It investigates how interiors, buildings, cities andlandscapes are patterned through design, production andmanufacturing, use, time, accident and perception. It also bringsinto focus how contemporary advanced spatial practices and CAD/CAMare now pushing patterns to encompass a greater range ofstructural, programmatic, aesthetic and material effects andproperties. Extending patterns far beyond the surface notion ofstyle and decoration, Patterns of Architecture assesses howand why the deployment of patterns is shaping the future ofarchitecture. Analysed through a multidisciplinary and international seriesof essays and designs from architects, engineers, academics,researchers and expert professionals in the field. Key contributors include: Hanif Kara, Patrik Schumacher andAlejandro Zaera-Polo.
