ABSTRACT
Technological advancements across multiple disciplines suggest a profound transformation of the way architecture is conceived, designed, and materialized, leading to novel interdisciplinary and multifaceted research cultures. At the same time, disciplines involved in the creation of our built environment face severe ecological, socioeconomic, and sociocultural challenges. This chapter introduces an integrative approach to teaching and research that involves scholars from various disciplines to jointly investigate the realm of integrative technological advancements as novel ecological, spatial, structural, and aesthetic potentials in architecture, which is presented along with three highly innovative building projects.
