This book provides computational techniques to develop techniques, form-finding strategies, visual communication and fabrication methods. It also features case studies and contributions by researchers and designers from the world’s most influential universities and leading architecture firms.

The innovation of this book is that it independently uses models of a certain kind of innovation or combines some classical models of several innovation patterns at the same time. We hope that the advancing innovation concepts in foreign architectures could bring more idea collision to the insiders of the architectural industry and help them create more new and better architectures for the world’s development.

The core idea for this book is the use of operative fields as tools for designing space. These operative phases abstract the idea of spatial formation to its most basic terms, allowing for an objective approach to create the foundation for subjective spatial design. Examples of these phases are expanded, collaborate, merge and many more. Together they form a visual dictionary decoding the syntax of spatial fields. This design process is illustrated with three-dimensional diagrams and pictures of designs that show the process ‘in action’.

Finally, this book, offers an almost infinite plenitude of ideas and possible solutions for all stages of architects - designers on …. pages, with an introductory essay on the importance of ‘good/right’ workflow – design process in the majority of phases of architecture.

Unlike other books on the subject, e.a.c.e.r approaches the practice of creating new methods, tips, and customer experiences as a science, rather than an art, providing a practical set of collaborative tools and methods for planning and defining successful new services. Architects, designers, and researchers who undertake the challenge of innovation, despite a lack of established procedures will find this an invaluable resource. Novices can learn from it; students can educate with it; and practitioners of innovation – pros can improve the quality of their work by referring to it…
