Issue No. 4/2010 of Architectural Design - guest edited by Rivka and Robert Oxman - focuses on the convergence of design, engineering and architectural technologies and the emerging material practice in experimental architecture.

In this pioneering publication, this important shift is fully defined as a highly dynamic synthesis of emerging principles of spatial, structural and material ordering integrated through the application of materialisation and fabrication technologies. Providing the foundations for a new theory of structuring in architecture, The New Structuralism has broad implications for the way we both conceive and undertake architectural design, as its impact starts to emanate not only across education internationally, but also through architectural research and practice.

designtoproduction founder Fabian Scheurer presents insights into the firm's practice under the title "Materialising Complexity" starting on page 86.
