THE NEW STRUCTURALISM: DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURAL TECHNOLOGIES
GUEST-EDITED BY RIVKA OXMAN AND ROBERT OXMAN
Today the convergence of design, engineering and architectural technologies are breeding a new material
practice in experimental architecture. The signifi cant emphasis on the structuring logic of tectonics is
resulting in a ‘new structuralism’ in design. In this pioneering publication, this important shift is fully
defi ned as a highly dynamic synthesis of emerging principles of spatial, structural and material ordering
integrated through the application of materialisation 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.
• Features exemplary work by research and experimental design-oriented structural engineering practices:
Bollinger + Grohmann, Buro Happold, Hanif Kara (AKT) and Werner Sobek.
• Theoretical contributions from: David Chilton, Holzer and Downing, Neri Oxman, Helmut
Pottmann, Nina Rappaport and Yves Weinand.
• Focuses on new design and fabrication technologies in the recent work of Barkow and Leibinger,
EMBT (Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue), Gramazio and Kohler, and Fabian Scheurer
