This book represents the fruits of a year long forum carried out in the Delft School of Design (DSD, Faculty of Architecture, University of Technology Delft).

The papers in this collection are gathered from renowned visiting scholars, faculty members, and doctoral candidates who contributed to workshops, seminars and lectures. The essays contained in this volume contribute to matters which have come to increasingly shift our understanding of architecture and urbanism. The authors offer insight on urban processes and the aesthetic challenge for contemporary design in relation to image, technology and life sciences.
