Aiming toward the integration of science, art, and design, this vast collection takes a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and molding architectural methodology. Where science addresses how things are and design explores the possibilities available, both arenas challenge the physical world, while art transforms reality by giving it new meaning, raising the physical to the metaphysical. The various contributions work to unite these seemingly disparate approaches, where several disciplines are not only interacting but reintegrated into a greater synthetic system.
