The New Structuralism: Design, Engineering and Architectural Technologies

The New Structuralism announces a new order in design and construction. With the onset of digital technologies, existing parameters have shifted. The old order of standardised design and its established processes no longer hold sway; contemporary architectural design can now be characterised by irregularity, and an appetite for producing customised non-standard, complex, curvilinear forms. The shift in design and production technologies requires a seamless design approach that fully acknowledges the interdependence of design and fabrication.
In this issue of 2, Rivka Oxman and Robert Oxman are eloquently calling for a new model of architectural production in which architects and engineers work together in a higher level of collaboration. The structural engineer is no longer the fi xer brought in during the late design stage to make a design work, but integral to the earliest generative stages. Design is no longer wholly dictated by form with structure following behind; structure becomes integral to form-fi nding.
