Architecture and Computers: Action and Reaction in the Digital Design Revolution

Book Description
Computers have revolutionized architecture, raising deep issues that are forcing a shift within the industry. This cutting-edge guide examines the pros, cons, and various aspects of using the computer in architectural design. A fascinating introduction explores the theory behind cyberspace and traces the effects that the worship of technology has had on society. Five other chapters discuss such topics as Frank Gehry's pioneering use of the catia program, first developed to design fighter planes; the backlash led by Eric Owen Moss and Moore, Ruble, Yudell; and the place of the computer in architectural education, with examples of student projects from USC's School of Architecture. Also featured are incredible projects by such industry leaders as Frank Gehry, Morphosis, Hamzah and Yeang, Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners, and others.
