【图书简介】 Elegance represents an important watershed in architectural design. Since the onset of computer-driven technologies， innovative designers have， almost exclusively， been preoccupied with the pursuit of digital techniques. This issue of AD extrapolates current design tendencies and brings them together to present a new type of architecture， one that is seamlessly trying processes， space， structure and material together with beauty. ‘Elegance’ here is cast with a new contemporary meaning as it is applied to work that is effortlessly complex. It is analogous to an elegant algorithm that uses a small amount of initiative code to great effect. In a structure elegance may be expressed by a complex surface that retains its continuity and integrity even when punctured. In many ways， Elegance marks a coming of age for， ‘digital architecture’， as architects become more adept at producing complexity and integrating digital design technologies， production and assembly systems producing elegant solutions. It is the potent finesse that is often associated with the work of Zaha Hadid Architects and other featured architects， such as Mark Goulthorpe of Decoi and Hani Rashid of Asymptote.-读书网|DuShu.com
