Publisher's Synopsis
Algorithmic Sustainable Design" contains lecture notes on Architecture and Urbanism that accompany a series of twelve one-hour videos. While the lecture notes can be read independently, they are very useful in following the video course, which is available free online. This material applies cutting-edge mathematical techniques to architectural and urban design. The course material is original, and includes innovative topics such as algorithms, fractals, cellular automata, complexity, emergence, information theory, symmetries, scaling, codes, and networks, here introduced into architecture and urbanism for the first time. Students from around the world can now learn the intelligent basis for architecture, and use it to re-establish adaptability and genuine sustainability.
