Las posibilidades creativas que la proyección digital ofrece al ámbito de la arquitectura, con toda la variedad de tecnologías y técnicas que existen hoy para la producción de diseños holísticos y componenciales. Informacion sobre el potencial arquitectonico que presentan procesos como el CAD/CAM, el fresado CNC, el prototipado rapido y la robotica. Casos practicos de todo el mundo, con ejemplos de trabajos de arquitectos reconocidos, sencillas instrucciones detalladas paso a paso, consejos practicos y tecnicas vanguardistas. Gracias a la evolucion que la tecnologia del diseño asistido por ordenador y los avanzados programas de modelado han experimentado en los ultimos años, la variedad de procesos de diseño que facilitan la proyeccion y la construccion en arquitectura es mas amplia que nunca. Ademas, las tecnicas digitales han permitido a los arquitectos construir diseños que serian practicamente inimaginables usando metodos mas tradicionales. Los nuevos programas ofrecen a los arquitectos nuevas vias para la produccion de diseños holisticos y para la fabricacion de componentes complejos, lo que da lugar a cambios en los procesos de diseño que tienen implicaciones en la cultura material que van mas alla de la propia disciplina de la arquitectura, ya que la investigacion y el desarrollo se llevan a cabo de una forma cada vez mas interdisciplinar a escala mundial. Asi, en este libro encontramos ejemplos de formaciones curvilineas, mallas, arquitectura algoritmica, corte por laser, fresado y recorte CNC, prototipado rapido, contorneado, plegado, conformado, seccionado, teselado, y una importante reflexion sobre el futuro de la construccion arquitectonica.

La presente obra ofrece al lector un conocimiento más profundo y detallado de los acontecimientos y tendencias más relevantes de la arquitectura moderna de los Países Bajos en un arco temporal específico que coincide, aproximadamente, con los años comprendidos entre el final de la Primera Guerra Mundial y el final de la Segunda. Dada la ausencia prácticamente total de bibliografía en nuestro idioma sobre el tema, nace con el objetivo de ser un trabajo de referencia en español; hecho que ha sido, por otra parte, un incentivo adicional al proporcionar la ocasión de una mirada exterior a dicha arquitectura, realizada desde nuestro país y con vocación de dirigirse al público hispanohablante, tanto español como del resto de países en que se habla nuestra lengua. Arquitectura moderna en los Países Bajos es también, en alguna medida, un reconocimiento a una arquitectura cuyo interés, particularmente en el ámbito español, y aportación han sido reconocidos internacionalmente.
