Book Description
This book addresses contemporary architectural practice in which digital technologies are radically changing how buildings are conceived, designed and produced. It discusses the digitally-driven changes, their origins, and their effects by grounding them in actual practices already taking place, while simultaneously speculating about their wider implications for the future. The book offers a diverse set of ideas as to what is relevant today and what will be relevant tomorrow for emerging architectural practices of the digital age.
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘This beautifully produced and illustrated book is an excellent reference book and a unique snapshot of the state of digital technologies in architecture today. ‘-Carol Hermann, Nexus Network Journal vol 6 (Autumn 2004)
‘These mostly first-hand accounts by significant pioneers in the use of digital tools to make real architecture, many given in an easily digestible, almost conversational style, provide the core value of the book. The resulting mix is not a conference proceedings, nor a textbook, nor a manifesto, but a bit of all three.’ – Brian Johnson, International Journal of Architectural Computing
