Preoccupation with image and a failure to look at process
has led entire generations of architects to overlook transfer technologies and
transfer processes. Kieran and Timberlake argue that the time has come to
re-evaluate and update the basic design and construction methods that have
constrained the building industry throughout its history. They skillfully demonstrate
that contemporary architectural construction is a linear process, in both
design and construction, where segregation of intelligence and information is
the norm. They convince the reader to look at the automobile, shipbuilding, and
aerospace industries to learn how to incorporate collective intelligence and
nonhierarchical production structures.Those industries have proven to be
progressively economic, efficient, and they yield a higher quality product
while the production of buildings stagnates in the methods and practices of the
nineteenth century. The transfer they envision is the complete integration of
design with the craft of assembly supported by the materials scientist, the
product engineer, and the process engineer, all using the tools of present information science as the
central enabler.The new architecture will not be about style, but rather about
substance - about the very methods and processes that underlie making.
