In the 1960s, structuralism developed into a new scientific movement with a claim to universal validity. Structural thinking also shaped a new scientific design, as postulated at the HfG Ulm by Max Bense, Max Bill and Tomás Maldonado, for example.
Today, structuralist approaches are being taken up again under the aspect of rule-based design methods with digital tools. The book shows that structural thinking is still expected to provide impetus for the close integration of different disciplines and explores the integration potential of structural approaches in architecture and product design.

The book with contributions by Joaquín Medina Warmburg, Cornelie Leopold, Hermann Edel, Mayka García Hípola, Claus Dreyer, Luigi Cocchiarella, Luc Merx, Angèle Tersluisen, Georg Vrachliotis, Matthias Castorph and Benjamin Dillenburger documents the international symposium "Structural Thinking in Architecture", which took place on June 9, 2010 in the architecture department of the TU Kaiserslautern.
