The authors use essays and projects to demonstrate the interrelationship of concepts such as emergence and self-organisation with the latest technologies in design, manufacturing and construction.<\/p>\n<p>With projects from their course, and critiques and commentary from some of the world\u2019s leading design theorists and practitioners, the authors of Emergent Technologies and Design have introduced a radical new way of understanding the way in which architecture is conceived, designed and produced.<\/p>\n<p>About the Authors:<\/p>\n<p>Michael Hensel is co-founder and was co-director of the Emergent Technologies and Design Master Programme at the Architectural Association School of Architecture until 2009.
