Over the past twenty years, two parallel phenomena have triggered a rapid acceleration and a significant leap forward in architectural technology : the systematic use of CAD / CAM systems for design and production designing and the collective awareness on energy /environmental emergency. The first was the principal cause of a greater freedom in controlling and managing complex morphologies, as in design as well in production. The second has instead imposed a deep rethinking of the role of technology in architecture, introducing the parameters of the environment and energy as fundamental paradigms to empower the meaning of technology as fundamental tool in the design process. The book surveys this phenomenon, considering technology not only as a tools, but also as instrument able to define the changing of form and language in design as well as in architecture. Spartaco Paris, (Rome, 1973). Architect, Master degree in Rome, at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" in 1999. Before and after his graduation, he had experiences of study and research abroad at Oxford Brookes University, at ETSA of San Sebastian and at ÊETH in Zurich and as professor at Polytechnic of Bari. PhD in Environmental Technologies for Development, he is currently associate professor of Building Design at the Faculty of Architecture of the Universitˆ degli studi di Roma La Sapienza . He develops his research around the topics of building environmental design, throught projects which link sustainabilty and quality of architecture. Lives and works in Rome.
