New book out: Chromatophoric Architecture – Designing for 3D Media facades
Based on the concept that future facades will become three-dimensional displays.
A “voxel” (“volumetric” + “pixel”) is the three-dimensional equivalent of a pixel, and one of the most important developments in design technology. Where spatial designs were previously constrained by the physical attributes of construction materials, voxel displays enable surface attributes such as dynamic relief, multilayered surface, decay function, privileged perspective, movement and speed and design process.
‘Chromatophoric Architecture’ discusses how light points are created that define space and allow surface attributes such as dynamic relief, multilayered surface, decay function, privileged perspective, movement and speed and design process. By utilizing examples of contemporary projects, the book presents recent developments of three-dimensional display technology, showing its significance for our understanding of space and architecture. Available through Amazon and various bookstores.
