Informationssammlung, Datenanalyse und Entwicklung eines Konzepts - das sind die wesentlichen Teilschritte der Definition eines architektonischen Problems, ob es sich nun um den Neubau eines Wohnhauses oder die Renovierung eines Bürogebäudes handelt. Und ein sorgfältig erstelltes Programm ist die Voraussetzung für den Erfolg eines jeden Projektes! Geschrieben von einer erfahrenen Designerin und Dozentin, behandelt dieses Buch im 1. Teil die theoretische und im 2. Teil die praktische Seite. Außerdem gibt es umfassende Informationen zu Techniken und neuen Entwicklungen (z.B. Videodatenanalyse) sowie praktische Tips und mehr als 200 Zeichnungen und Diagramme zur Veranschaulichung des Textes. (01/99)

A completely revised edition, offering new design recipes for interactive programs and support for images as plain values, testing, event-driven programming, and even distributed programming. This introduction to programming places computer science at the core of a liberal arts education. Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process, presenting program design guidelines that show the reader how to analyze a problem statement, how to formulate concise goals, how to make up examples, how to develop an outline of the solution, how to finish the program, and how to test it. Because learning to design programs is about the study of principles and the acquisition of transferable skills, the text does not use an off-the-shelf industrial language but presents a tailor-made teaching language. For the same reason, it offers DrRacket, a programming environment for novices that supports playful, feedback-oriented learning. The environment grows with readers as they master the material in the book until it supports a full-fledged language for the whole spectrum of programming tasks. This second edition has been completely revised. While the book continues to teach a systematic approach to program design, the second edition introduces different design recipes for interactive programs with graphical interfaces and batch programs. It also enriches its design recipes for functions with numerous new hints. Finally, the teaching languages and their IDE now come with support for images as plain values, testing, event-driven programming, and even distributed programming.

Architectural programming is the key to successful design. It is the crucial process of gathering, organizing, and assessing a client's building-use information. This process includes design concepts and program objectives ... staff and employee projections ... current and future space requirements ... adjacencies and relationships ... equipment and utility requirements ... project cost ... and more. This unique book and diskette provide architects, engineers, facilities managers, corporate and institutional administrators, and others with an effective method for gathering and assessing data needed to successfully design virtually any type of building - from office towers and educational facilities to laboratories and medical facilities.

With scripting, computer programming becomes integral to the digital design process. It provides unique opportunities for innovation, enabling the designer to customise the software around their own predilections and modes of working. It liberates the designer by automating many routine aspects and repetitive activities of the design process, freeing-up the designer to spend more time on design thinking. Software that is modified through scripting offers a range of speculations that are not possible using the software only as the manufacturers intended it to be used. There are also significant economic benefits to automating routines and coupling them with emerging digital fabrication technologies, as time is saved at the front-end and new file-to-factory protocols can be taken advantage of. Most significantly perhaps, scripting as a computing program overlay enables the tool user (designer) to become the new tool maker (software engineer). Though scripting is not new to design, it is only recently that it has started to be regarded as integral to the designer's skill set rather than a technical speciality. Many designers are now aware of its potential, but remain hesitant. This book treats scripting not only as a technical challenge, requiring clear description, guidance and training, but also, and more crucially, answers the question as to why designers should script in the first place, and what the cultural and theoretical implications are. This book: Investigates the application of scripting for productivity, experimentation and design speculation. Offers detailed exploration of the scripting of Gaudí's final realised design for the Sagrada Família, leading to file-to-factory digital fabrication. Features projects and commentary from over 30 contemporary scripting leaders, including Evan Douglis, Marc Fornes, Sawako Kaijima, Achim Menges, Neri Oxman, Casey Reas and Hugh Whitehead of Foster + Partners.

Explains the concepts underlying programming languages, and demonstrates how these concepts are synthesized in the major paradigms: imperative, OO, concurrent, functional, logic and with recent scripting languages. It gives greatest prominence to the OO paradigm. Includes numerous examples using C, Java and C++ as exmplar languages Additional case-study languages: Python, Haskell, Prolog and Ada Extensive end-of-chapter exercises with sample solutions on the companion Web site Deepens study by examining the motivation of programming languages not just their features
