Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The 'active image' refers to the operative nature of images, thus capturing the vast array of 'actions' that images perform.This volume features essays that present a new approach to image theory. It explores the many ways images become active in architecture and engineering design processes and how,in the age of computer-based modeling,images play an indispensable role.The contributors examine different types of images, be they pictures, sketches, renderings, maps, plans, and photographs; be they analog or digital, planar or three-dimensional, ephemeral, realistic or imaginary.

In addition, they offer valuable insight to better understand how images operate and function in the arts and sciences in general.…
