"The Spirit of the Machine" ist ein neuer Band aus der Reihe 'Architectural Design', der sich mit der inspirierenden Wirkung der Technologie auf die Architektur befasst. Es wird gezeigt, dass neue Technologien ein wichtiges Werkzeug für die Gestaltung von ökonomischeren, einfühlsameren und schöneren Architekturformen sind. Voraussetzung hierfür ist jedoch, dass die Technologie nach dem holistischen Prinzip eingesetzt wird, und zwar in Verbindung mit aktueller Forschung, die die langfristigen sozialen und gesellschaftlichen Konsequenzen baulicher und umweltbezogener Gestaltung mit einbezieht.
Dieser Band untersucht, welche Rolle Wissenschaft und Industrie für die Entwicklung von Designideen und -inspirationen im Bereich der Architektur gespielt haben. Mit Hilfe aussagekräftiger Fallstudien wird der Ausdruck der Technologie in allen Bereichen der bebauten und gestalteten Umgebung analysiert. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf aktuellen und künftigen Entwicklungen. Dabei wird nicht nur die Geschichte des technologischen Fortschritts in der Architektur näher beleuchtet, sondern auch die Prinzipien, die die ästhetische und symbolische Entwicklung der Architektur inspiriert haben. Darüber hinaus untersucht "The Spirit of the Machine" einen neuen Designansatz, der innovative und alternative Technologien einbezieht und damit ganz neue Möglichkeiten des Architekturdesigns eröffnet.

The design of our environment and the application of science are two areas of human activity that impact most profoundly on everyday life. Spirit of the Machine draws these areas together by investigating the importance of technological advance in architectural design and the philosophies that have inspired its aesthetic and symbolic development. Of interest to anyone with a keen awareness of their surroundings, it will heighten the reader's appreciation of the architectural environment and the factors that are shaping its form today.
In this highly accessible work, Robert Kronenburg investigates the ways in which innovative and alternative technologies may be exploited to produce new design approaches, widening designers' horizons and increasing their ability to create appropriate settings for contemporary life. This is a study not of technology itself, but of its effect on the most fundamental aspect of human existence: how we inhabit the world.
Drawing on a wide frame of reference - from architecture and science to literature and cinema - the book offers a full and detailed examination of the subject. It also includes a year-by-year chronology of major historical, architectural and technological events and innovations of the 20th century, providing the reader with a concise overview of the significant independent factors that are so important in an understanding of its context.
