Whereas the dictionary definition of performance -to 'carry out an action' or 'to fulfill a task' - invokes a tired utilitarian debate, Hensel and Menges inject the meaning of the word 'performance' with an entirely new life. In this context, form is redefined not as the shape of a material object alone, but as the multitude of effects, a milieu of conditions, modulations and microclimates that emanate from an object's exchange with its specific environment, a dynamic relationship that is perceived and interacted with by a subject. A synergetic employment of performance and morpho-ecological techniques combine to create integral design solutions that will render an alternative model for sustainability. This issue presents historical precursors and precedents for this approach, as well as the current state of the art of morpho-ecological design. Key contributors include: Klaus Bollinger and Manfred Grohmann of Bollinger \u0026amp; Grohmann, Aleksandra Jaeschke, OCEAN, Professor Remo Pedreschi, Defne Sunguroglu, Peter Trummer and Michael Weinstock.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 \u003cbr\u003eEditorial\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHelen Castle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVersatility and Vicissitude An Introduction to Performance in Morpho-Ecological Design\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel and Achim Menges\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 \u003cbr\u003eForm, Force and Structure A Brief History\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRemo Pedreschi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e20\u003cbr\u003eForm, Force, Performance Multi-Parametric Structural Design\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKlaus Bollinger, Manfred Grohmann and Oliver Tessmann\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e26\u003cbr\u003eMetabolism and Morphology\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMichael Weinstock\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e34\u003cbr\u003eMaterial Performance\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel, Defne Sungurog¢lu and Achim Menges\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e42\u003cbr\u003eManufacturing Performance\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAchim Menges\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e48 \u003cbr\u003ePerformance-Oriented Design Precursors and Potentials\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e54 Inclusive Performance: Efficiency Versus Effectiveness Towards a Morpho-Ecological Approach for Design\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel and Achim Menges\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e64 Complex Brick Assemblies\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDefne Sunguroglu\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e74 Membrane Spaces\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel and Achim Menges\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e80\u003cbr\u003eAggregates\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel and Achim Menges\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e88\u003cbr\u003eEnvironmental Intensifiers\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAleksandra Jaeschke\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e96\u003cbr\u003eEngineering Ecologies\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeter Trummer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102\u003cbr\u003eDesigning Morpho-Ecologies Versatility and Vicissitude of Heterogeneous Space\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel and Achim Menges\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e114+\u003cbr\u003eInterior Eye\u003cbr\u003eCraftsteak, New York\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJayne Merkel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e118+\u003cbr\u003eBuilding Profile\u003cbr\u003ePublic Toilet, Gravesend\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDavid Littlefield\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e122+\u003cbr\u003ePractice Profile\u003cbr\u003em3architecture\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMark Taylor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e128+\u003cbr\u003eUnit Factor\u003cbr\u003eRenewable Types and the Urban Plan\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristopher Lee and Sam Jacoby\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e132+\u003cbr\u003eSpiller’s Bits\u003cbr\u003eIn Praise of the Blur\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNeil Spiller\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e134+\u003cbr\u003eYeang’s Eco-Files\u003cbr\u003eRecharging your Bio-Batteries with a Can of Coke\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKen Yeang\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e136+\u003cbr\u003eMcLean’s Nuggets\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWill McLean\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e138+\u003cbr\u003eUserscape\u003cbr\u003eThe Social Call\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eValentina Croci\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e142+\u003cbr\u003eSite Lines\u003cbr\u003eMaking Waves at East Beach Café\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHoward Watson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Architecture [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Architecture\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Architecture%20%5BAM%5D%22\"\u003eAM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Academy Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52507272937752,"sku":"9780470516874","price":23.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470516874.jpg?v=1786443158","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/versatility-and-vicissitude-performance-in-morpho-ecological-design-paperback-softback-9780470516874","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
