The Harvard Graduate School of Design's recurring course GSD6328 began Spring semester 2006 as an experimental exploration of interdisciplinary design. The course brings together Harvard graduate architecture students with MIT graduate students in structural engineering and computation, working together in teams and applying the knowledge of their diverse disciplines to design assignments. Published by Harvard U. Graduate School of Design, this text offers architecture and engineering students and professionals insights from 25 past participants in this unique course. The essays and case studies are organized into sections on structure and design, contextual and systemic design, computation and design optimization, and the emergence of a new discipline. Illustrated with b&w and color diagrams, charts, and photographs. No subject index. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
