Some even fantasise about 3D-printing entire cities. But what is the real potential of 3D printing for architects? This issue focuses on another strand of 3D-printing practice emerging among architects operating at a much smaller scale that is potentially more significant. Several architects have been working with the fashion industry to produce some exquisitely designed 3D-printed wearables. Other architects have been 3D-printing food, jewellery and other items at the scale of the human body. But what is the significance of this work? And how do these 3D-printed body-scale items relate to the discipline of architecture? Are they merely a distraction from the real business of the architect? Or do they point towards a new form of proto-architecture – like furniture, espresso makers and pavilions before them – that tests out architectural ideas and explores tectonic properties at a smaller scale? Or does this work constitute an entirely new arena of design? In other words, is 3D printing at the human scale to be seen as a new genre of 'body architecture'? This issue contains some of the most exciting work in this field today, and seeks to chart and analyse its significance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors include: Paola Antonelli\/MoMA, Francis Bitonti, Niccolo Casas, Behnaz Farahi, Madeline Gannon, Eric Goldemberg\/MONAD Studio, Kyle von Hasseln\/3D Systems Culinary Lab, Rem D Koolhaas, Julia Kӧrner, Neil Leach, Steven Ma\/Xuberance, Neri Oxman\/MIT Media Lab, Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello, Gilles Retsin, Jessica Rosenkrantz\/Nervous System, and Patrik Schumacher\/Zaha Hadid Architects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Wiley\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-12-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781119340188\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 284.50cm x208.30cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 136\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44384543670412,"sku":"9781119340188","price":32.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781119340188.jpg?v=1771987342","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781119340188","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
