The Codewriting Workbook
Creating Computational Architecture in AutoLISP
By Robert J. Krawczyk
Princeton Architectural Press, 2008 New York
Foreword by William J. Mitchell
416 pages, 274 drawings, with CD
See: http://home.netcom.com/~codewriting
Conceived as a primer for architects, artists,
and designers, The Codewriting Workbook
introduces students and practitioners to basic
programming concepts for computer-aided design
(CAD). Through a series of guided exercises
using algorithmic functions, readers learn how
to develop and write procedures for two-dimensional
drawings and three-dimensional models. Each
sequence of exercises starts with a simple concept
and evolves into a family of possible solutions,
including specifying and exploring a wide range
of design alternatives, integrating parameters
for controlling randomness, utilizing
meteorological data, and developing complex
patterns for laser-cutting and CNC-milling.
Exercises are presented in AutoLISP, a widely
accessible CAD programming environment.
To make the codewriting routines more accessible
and to encourage further exploration, a companion
CD contains all 400 AutoLISP scripts presented
in this book.
