These i-products, while handy, primarily confine their interactivity to the surfaces of screens. Not exactly the kind of \"world-changing\" transformation we've been promised. In \u003ci\u003eInteractive Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e, authors Michael Fox and Miles Kemp introduce us to a brave new world where design pioneers are busy creating environments that not only facilitate interaction between people, but also actively participate in their own right. These spacesable to reconfigure themselves in response to human stimuliwill literally change our worlds by addressing our ever-evolving individual, social, and environmental needs. In other words, it's time to stop asking what architecture is and start asking what it can do. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eInteractive Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e is a processes-oriented guide to creating dynamic spaces and objects capable of performing a range of pragmatic and humanistic functions. These complex physical interactions are made possible by the creative fusion of embedded computation (intelligence) with a physical, tangible counterpart (kinetics). A uniquely twenty-first century toolbox and skill setvirtual and physical modeling, sensor technology, CNC fabrication, prototyping, and roboticsnecessitates collaboration across many diverse scientific and art-based communities. \u003ci\u003eInteractive Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e includes contributions from the worlds of architecture, industrial design, computer programming, engineering, and physical computing. These remarkable projects run the gamut in size and complexity. Fullscale built examples include a house in Colorado that programs itself by observing the lifestyle of the inhabitants, and then learns to anticipate and accommodate their needs. \u003ci\u003eInteractive Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e examines this vanguard movement from all sides, including its sociological and psychological implications as well as its potentiallybeneficial environmental impact.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Princeton Architectural Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44895604867301,"sku":"NP9781568988368","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/interactive-architecture-isbn-9781568988368","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
