Crossover

Crossover is the very first publication by the Delft School of Design  (DSD), a laboratory for research and experimentation in architecture,  urbanism and technologies of construction at the TU Delft. Its  investigations cover a wide variety of subjects, from theoretical  considerations and historical studies to urban and architectural  practices and contemporary structural design. What they all have in  common is the emerging condition of architectural and urban knowledge  in both the academic context and professional practice. Since its  inception in 2003, the DSD has developed a strategy or field of inquiry  for mapping new means of approaching the complexity of the contemporary  urban and architectural conditions. Traditional approaches are seen to  be increasingly inadequate in the face of this complexity. This is in  part due to the nature of the information age. Yet, on the other hand,  new technologies offer us the challenge and the potential to represent  our world in unprecedented ways.
