Description - The New Structuralism by Rivka Oxman
Today the convergence of design, engineering and architectural
technologies are breeding a new material practice in experimental
architecture. In this pioneering publication, this important shift
is fully defined as a highly dynamic synthesis of emerging
principles of spatial, structural and material ordering integrated
through the application of materialization and fabrication
technologies. Providing the foundations for a new theory of
structuring in architecture, The New Structuralism has broad
implications for the way we both conceive and undertake
architectural design, as its impact starts to emanate not only
across education internationally, but also through architectural
research and practice.
