Todayrsquo;s design professionals are faced with challenges on all fronts. They need not only to keep in step with rapid technological changes and the current revolution in design and construction processes; but to lead the industry. This means actively seeking to innovate through design research; raising the bar in building performance and adopting advanced technologies in their practice. In a constant drive to improve design processes and services; how is it possible to implement innovations? And; moreover; to assimilate them in such a way that design; methods and technologies remain fully integrated?Focusing on innovations in architecture; this book covers new materials and design methods; advances in computational design practices; innovations in building technologies and construction techniques; and the integration of research with design. Moreover; it discusses strategies for integrating innovation into design practices; risks and economic impacts. Through numerous case studies; it illustrates how innovations have been implemented on actual architectural projects; and how design and technical innovations are used to improve building performance; as well as design practices in cutting-edge architectural and engineering firms.Projects of all scales and building types are discussed in the book; ranging from small-scale installations; academic and commercial buildings to large-scale mixed-use; healthcare; civic; academic; scientific research and sports facilities. Work from design firms around the globe and of various scales is discussed in the book; including for example Asymptote Architecture; cepezed; CO Architects; Consarc Architects; FAAB Architektura; Gerber Architekten; HOK; IDOM-ACXT; MAD Architects; Morphosis Architects; SDA | Synthesis Design + Architecture; Studiotrope; Perkins+Will; Richter Dahl Rocha Associeacute;s; Snoslash;hetta; Rob Ley Studio; Trahan Architects; UNStudio and Zaha Hadid Architects; among many others.
