The human propensity for pattern recognition and fabrication is innate. Encompassing the historical, vernacular and parametric, this title explores the creation, materialisation and theorisation of some of the world's most significant and spectacularly patterned spaces. It investigates how interiors, buildings, cities and landscapes are patterned through design, production and manufacturing, use, time, accident and perception. It also brings into focus how contemporary advanced spatial practices and CAD\/CAM are now pushing patterns to encompass a greater range of structural, programmatic, aesthetic and material effects and properties. Extending patterns far beyond the surface notion of style and decoration, \u003ci\u003ePatterns of Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e assesses how and why the deployment of patterns is shaping the future of architecture.  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalysed through a multidisciplinary and international series of essays and designs from architects, engineers, academics, researchers and expert professionals in the field. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKey contributors include: Hanif Kara, Patrik Schumacher and Alejandro Zaera-Polo.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eMark Garcia\u003c\/b\u003e is the Research Co-ordinator and an MPhil\/PhD Supervisor in the Department of Architecture at the Royal College of Art (RCA).
