By invading the toolbox of digital fabrication, design has transgressed into protocols of manufacturing previously the domain of other disciplines and skills sets. Craft, assembly and installation, once the realm of trades, are qualities that are now dependent upon design information and its status as an instruction to make. The ensuing loop between the physical and tactile, the imaginary and speculative, has defined a new expectation in making architecture as a construct that is part real, part ideal.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With contributions from Lebbeus Woods, Evan Douglis, Theo Jansen, Shin Egashira and many more, Protoarchitecture presents an explicitly diverse collection of works from leading and emerging practitioners, educators, researchers and visionaries from all corners of this innovative field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Editorial\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eHelen Castle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eProtoarchitecture: Between the Analogue and the Digital\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBob Sheil\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e12 The Wonder of Trivial Machines\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eStephen Gage\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e22 Strandbeests\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eTheo Jansen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e28 Drawn into Space: Zaha Hadid\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eLebbeus Woods\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e36 Convoluted Flesh: A Synthetic Approach to Analogue and Digital Architecture\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarjan Colletti and Marcos Cruz\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e44 The Memory of an Elephant\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eBob Sheil\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e50 Thinking with Matter\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMark West\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e56 Prosthetic Mythologies\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eKate Davies and Emmanuel Vercruysse\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e62 Flora_Flex: In Search of Synthetic Immortality\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvan Douglis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e70 Screens\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eNiall McLaughlin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e80 Out of the Phase: Making an Approach to Architecture and Landscape\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMark Smout and Laura Allen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e86 Objects after Image\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eShin Egashira\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e92 Robotic Membranes: Exploring a Textile Architecture of Behaviour\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMette Ramsgard Thomsen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e98 Mapping the Invisible Landscape: An Exercise in Spatially Choreographed Sound\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003ePaul Bavister\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e106+ Interior Eye\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eWell-MADE New York City Apartments\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eJayne Merkel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e112+ Building Profile\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Shoreditch Roof Apartment\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDavid Littlefield\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e116+ Practice Profile\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jamie Fobert Architects: Inside Out\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eHoward Watson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e122+ Userscape\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Inhabiting the Body and the Spaces of Interaction\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eValentina Croci\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e126+ Unit Factor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Can Architectural Design Be Research?
