Book Description
The Apple iMac. The New Beetle. The Oh Chair. The Guggenheim Bilbao Museum. These are all classic examples of blobism, a futuristic retelling of the curve, resulting in protoplasmic forms designed by computers.
A growing number of inventive architects are now embracing this concept, making blobitecture the hottest global trend in the industry. This is the first book to focus exclusively on the blobitecture phenomenon in detail: how the process works, the geometric and environmental challenges it presents, the sophisticated software that allows artists to bend the lines of traditional architecture, and the stunning work produced by this art form.
Featuring curved walls to blob-esque furniture to Greg Lynn?s Embryological House and Koloatan and McDonald?s Title House, this is both a showcase of the best in blobism and a guide to applying it in a designer?s own work.
