This publication, "Masterplanning the Adaptive City: Computational Urbanism in the Twenty-First Century," edited by Tom Verebes and published by Routledge in 2013, delves into the application of computational design for creating adaptable masterplans to address rapid urban growth and heterogeneity. It integrates interdisciplinary concepts from architecture, urbanism, natural sciences, computer science, economics, and mathematics, with a particular focus on urban change in Asia and developing countries. The book is structured into four parts, covering historical and theoretical background, the current situation, methodologies, and prototypical practices, featuring essays, interviews, and built case studies.
This manual is intended for practitioners and researchers in architecture and urbanism, providing comprehensive insights into computational urbanism, adaptive masterplanning, and urban change management. It serves as a vital resource for understanding and implementing strategies for urban development in diverse and rapidly evolving contexts. The content is designed to inform and guide professionals through complex urban challenges, offering a blend of theoretical frameworks and practical examples to foster innovative planning approaches.
Computational design has become widely accepted into mainstream architecture, but this is the first book to advocate applying it to create adaptable masterplans for rapid urban growth, urban heterogeneity, through computational urbanism. Practitioners and researchers here discuss ideas from the fields of architecture, urbanism, the natural sciences, computer science, economics, and mathematics to find solutions for managing urban change in Asia and developing countries throughout the world. Divided into four parts (historical and theoretical background, our current situation, methodologies, and prototypical practices), the book includes a series of essays, interviews, built case studies, and original research to accompany chapters written by editor Tom Verebes to give you the most comprehensive overview of this approach.
Essays by Marina Lathouri, Jorge Fiori, Jonathan Solomon, Patrik Schumacher, Peter Trummer, and David Jason Gerber.
Interviews with Dana Cuff, Xu Wei Guo, Matthew Prior, Tom Barker, Su Yunsheng, and Brett Steele.
Built case studies by Zaha Hadid Architects, James Corner Field Operations, XWG Studio, MAD, OCEAN Consultancy Network, Plasma Studio, Groundlab, Peter Trummer, Serie Architects, dotA, and Rocker-Lange Architects.
