![]() “I'm deeply embarrassed by Animate Form.” It was “too focused on vocational aspects” of architecture. “I didn't know it, but everything I'm doing now I was doing then … I haven't had a new idea since.” I'll give you a sense of each book project from Greg Lynn soundbites (and I'm probably misquoting, so consider these illustrative rather than direct quotes): It looks very nice though – much more balanced and well rounded than his previous efforts. I did not end up buying the new book at $55 it seemed a bit too much of a strain on my alarmingly dwindling student loan pile. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.Greg Lynn gave what he called a “book talk” - he went through the books he's had published so far, from Animate Form to Intricacy to the new 'non-monograph monograph' Greg Lynn Form. ![]() He has been visiting professor at Yale for the past ten years. Renown LA-based architect Greg Lynn is a leader in cutting-edge technology and architectural design. Using a virtual 3D interface, the viewer is able to navigate through space and select objects and animations to view at different scales. ![]() ![]() The CD-ROM is an interactive hypertext environment that fully documents the design processes used to generate the projects through animations, renderings, model photographs, videos, and texts. The book provides a theoretical context for the experimental projects through a collection of texts by Lynn, extensively illustrated in color. In experimenting with these new methods and media, Lynn has charted an innovative direction in design. He uses topological geometries to bend, twist, deform, and differentiate structure, creating unprecedented departures from preconceived notions of architecture. Through the use of state-of-the-art animation and special-effects software, Lynn transforms space and form into highly plastic, flexible, and mutable entities. Historically, architecture has been considered static, fixed, and inert. ![]() The projects documented here explore the potential of time-based animation techniques to inform architectural design. Animate Form is a book and interactive CD-ROM of recent architectural projects designed by Form, the office of Greg Lynn. ![]()
