This third AD by the guest–editors of the highly successful Emergence and techniques and technologies in Morphogenetic Design titles shifts the morpho–ecological design project into the realm of performance. Whereas the dictionary definition of performance –to ′carry out an action′ or ′to fulfill a task′ – invokes a tired utilitarian debate, Hensel and Menges inject the meaning...(展开全部)

Ecology is the study of the relationship between organisms and their environment. Through their teaching at the Architectural Association, the editors have shown how this definition also suits the discipline of architecture surprisingly well. Correlating morphogenesis and ecology, they have developed a new framework for architectural design that is firmly rooted within a biolog...(展开全部)

Tackling the questions that systems designers care about, this book brings queueing theory decisively back to computer science. The book is written with computer scientists and engineers in mind and is full of examples from computer systems, as well as manufacturing and operations research. Fun and readable, the book is highly approachable, even for undergraduates, while still ...(展开全部)

The principal findings of experimental economics are that impersonal exchange in markets converges in repeated interaction to the equilibrium states implied by economic theory, under information conditions far weaker than specified in the theory. In personal, social, and economic exchange, as studied in two-person games, cooperation exceeds the prediction of traditional game th...(展开全部)

To stay relevant, art curators must keep up with the rapid pace of technological innovation as well as the aesthetic tastes of fickle critics and an ever-expanding circle of cultural arbiters. "Issues in Curating Contemporary Art and Performance" argues that, despite these daily pressures, good curating work also requires more theoretical attention. In this groundbreaking volum...(展开全部)

Arriving in the United States at age twenty-seven, Hungarian-born Paul Henry Lang (1901-1991) went on to exert a powerful influence on musical life and scholarship in his adopted country for more than six decades. As professor of musicology at Columbia University, editor of the Musical Quarterly, a founder of the American Musicological Society, and chief music critic of the New...(展开全部)

This issue of AD introduces a new approach to architectural practice based on the interrelationship of emergence and self-organisation concepts. A sequence to the successful Emergence: Morphogenetic Design Strategies title by the same guest-editors, it advances on the previous publication by taking on board the latest developments for fully integrated design evolution, manufact...(展开全部)
