Offers rare insights about how these firms apply technology to purposefully disrupt and support their creative design processes in order to then explore how technology can be integrated on an organisational level. The resulting practice stories are loosely tied to four chapters that discuss how Design Technology corresponds to studio culture, collaboration and delivery protocols, business opportunities, knowledge sharing, staff empowerment, and more. Focused on cultural and organisational challenges and opportunities. This book benefits both the professional market (such as design firms reflecting on their technology use), as well as the academic context (with its critical reflection on the interface between design process and technology support). Stories from the following design firms are included: Coop Himmelb(l)au ; Foster + Partners ; Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) ; Zaha Hadid Architects ; Diller Scofidio + Renfo ; Heatherwick Studio ; Morphosis Architects ; SO-IL ; Woods Bagot ; Herzog & de Meuron ; LASSA
