Product Description
306090 has emerged as an essential forum for issues of architectural practice and theory. Each volume addresses a pressing issue and offers diverse cross-disciplinary solutions in the form of projects ideas buildings and other media. Dimension (306090 12) reconsiders the act of measurement and definition in architectural design practice. Architecture in the past two decades has been transformed by the ongoing revolution in digital design and fabrication techniques. Dimension explores how the data design and invention derived from the act of measurement can help architects respond to economic political and environmental factors.

	Digital Fabrications: Architectural and Material Techniques (Architecture Briefs) by Lisa Iwamoto (Author) Architectural pioneers such as Frank Gehry and Greg Lynn introduced the world to the extreme forms made possible by digital fabrication. It is now possible to transfer designs made on a computer to computer-controlled machinery that creates actual building components. This 'file to factory' process not only enables architects to realize projects featuring complex or double-curved geometries, but also liberates architects from a dependence on off-the-shelf building components, enabling projects...
	Models: 306090 11 by Jonathan D. Solomon (Editor), Emily Abruzzo (Editor), Eric Ellingsen (Editor) Models are an essential component of the architect's design process. As tools of translation, models assist the exploration of the possible and illustrate the actual. While models have traditionally served as representational and structural studies, they are increasingly being used to suggest and solve new spatial and structural configurations. Models, the eleventh volume of the highly regarded journal 306090, explores the role of the architectural model today in relation to the idea, the...
	The Function of Ornament by Farshid Moussavi (Author), Farshid Moussavi (Editor), Michael Kubo (Editor) Architecture needs mechanisms that allow it to become connected to culture. It achieves this by continually capturing the forces that shape society as material to work with. Architecture's materiality is therefore a composite one, made up of visible forces (structural, functional, physical) as well as invisible forces (cultural, political, temporal). Architecture progresses through new concepts that connect with these forces, manifesting itself in new aesthetic compositions and affects....
