This book wants to remind us that we are not alone and as long as we take this into consideration, we will design welcoming, inclusive and functional spaces.

Introducing different ways of creating architectural space, based on controlled transformations of physical models.

While staying on theoretical ground, this book is foremost a visual guide. It’s practical and guides you to the basic forms and shapes in architectural planning and design.

This book presents design strategies that vary in form, function and intent. The common denominator is the alternative/experimental approach of combining both private and public spaces.

Use operative verbs as tools for designing space. These operative verbs abstract the idea of spatial formation to its most basic terms, allowing for an objective approach to create the foundation for subjective spatial design.

This book is the sequel to Operative Design. It will further explore the operative in a more detailed, intentional, and perhaps functional manner. Spatially, the conditional is the result of the operative.

A comprehensive overview of emerging new design methods and techniques.• New design methods for architecture• Inspiration is a visual feast with a hundreds of beautiful form studies
• Includes practical as well as academic background analyses

Showcases many form studies using digital tools and techniques.

A series of design experiments on structural prototypes derived from biological systems.

Experiments answering different geometrical and material principles in a real scale.

Discover the architectural potential of biological structures as can be found in nature.

Exciting crossover between the movement of fashion and textiles and the static aspect of architectural space.

An exciting method of educational motivation, systematic architectural approach and understanding of complex geometries.
