The Case Study House program ranks among the most influential and innovative projects in American architectural history of the post-war period and has lost none of its fascination even today. The experimental designs of renowned avant-garde architects such as Richard Neutra, Craig Ellwood, Raphael Soriano and Eero Saarinen succeeded in presenting unique houses that completely redefined the concept of modern living. The present publication interprets the Case Study Houses using the new digital tools that architects now have at their disposal and which make the projects accessible in a wholly different way. While traditional documentation provides floor plans, sections, elevations and perspectives, we are now achieving new insights into the concepts, structure, construction, design and spatial effects of the houses by using 3D models, BIM data and atmospheric visualization as well as advanced image processing. It is even possible to download 3D models of some of the houses and try out novel approaches to individual projects. Above all, the book will serve as an inspiration for new architectural ideas and promote the use of these technologies in the design, visualization and realization of such concepts in creative and innovative ways.

Die Digitalisierung unserer Lebenswelt schreitet in riesigen Schritten voran. Die Überlagerung physischer und virtueller Räume führt zu einer Erweiterung unserer Realitätswahrnehmung. International tätige Künstler, Architekten, Soziologen, Medientheoretiker, Kommunikationswissenschaftler und Philosophen beschreiben, wie digitale Medien das Verhältnis von Mensch und Raum revolutionieren, wie sie als Gestaltungsmittel für die Entwicklung neuer Raumszenarien eingesetzt werden können, welche Chancen und Risiken sich hinter der Virtualisierung der Gesellschaft verbergen und warum die Erweiterung der Realität die Welt zukünftig noch stärker entmaterialisieren wird.

In architecture and interior design spatial concepts are increasingly computer-generated, illustrated and presented. Computer aided design has already established in architectural offices. The influence of digital technology increases further. This manual introduces different digital tools and includes tutorials based on everyday practice. It helps to use digital technology in the design phase and planning process. With application examples of UNStudio. Content: CAAD 3D-modelling Visualisation Animation Image Editing Layout Outlook
