Shape that body: the point cloud is organized by powerlines to shape the body : Renault DeZir / L. van den Acker ; BMW Gina / Chris Bangle -- The concept rules -- The direct link from concept to computation -- Multiplicity -- Upstream -- Not a fixed recipe : Flyotel Dubai ; U2 Tower Dublin -- Opinion on the curve -- Radicalize the concept -- Powerlines -- Project-specific design tool protoPLAN -- Top-down, bottom-up : Evolution of the front of the Peugeot 201 to the Peuguot 208 -- Generic and specific -- Similarity of the body plan : Urban kiosk Guangzhou ; Wedding Chapel Nanjing -- The expert formerly known as the architect -- New building species : Trans-ports handdrawspace ; protoCITY 2005++ -- Fusion of art and architecture -- Iconic -- protoSTYLE -- Feature lines -- My personal curve -- From Kandinsky to Bezier : Wellington power line ; CET powerlines -- Personal style -- Not the b-word please 2001 : Birds on powerlines ; Feature lines Citroen C5 -- Framing the new kind of building -- Emotive styling -- Forget about pilotis : Web of North-Holland spaceship ; Web of North-Holland art and architecture -- Yes we build spaceships -- Vectorial bodies -- On-off -- Minimize the footprint -- Second life -- Force fields -- Polarization, voltage, massage : Spanish Pavilion Shanghai World Expo ; British Pavilion Shanghai World Expo -- The building as product -- Learning from car styling.
3. Move that body: building components are actors in a complex adaptive system : From mass production to industrial customization : protoDECK ; protoSPACE 3.0 -- From static to proactive -- Interacting populations -- Cars are actors -- Buildings are actors : NSA Muscle ; protoWALL -- What is interactive architecture? -- Proactivity -- There is only a window when you need one : Digital pavilion immediate design ; Digital pavilion augmented reality -- Versatile time zones -- The actuator -- 4. Evolve that body: the building body is a personal universe living inside evolution : My personal brain -- My personal design point cloud : Mondrian's personal universe ; Frank Stella painting into architecture -- My personal universe -- Transaction space -- Instances of a quantum universe : A new kind of science ; The medium is the message -- Living inside evolution -- Quantum architecture -- Irreversibility : Tour Cybernéque / Nicolas Schöffer 1961 -- Design by wire -- Building in motion -- Living diagrams : Emotive factor saltwater pavilion ; Szombathely programmable interior skin -- Collaborative design in real time -- Massive data : Beijing 798 ; Catalunya Circuit City -- New kind of building : Gömböe ; Dynamic barrier -- Tweets for a new kind of building : TORS.

Summary:

Tailor-made architecture based on computer-driven production methods means that all the constituent building components are by defintion unique. The economic rationale for using repeating elements becomes defunct. In this guide Kas Oosterhuis describes his practice and considers his designs in the context of recent social developements, especially in the field of ICT. Two paradigm shifts take centre stage: from architecture based on mass production to architecture based on industrially produced made-to-measure components, and from a static architecture to a dynamic and interactive architecture.
