Paradigms in Computing: Making, Machines, and Models for Design Agency in Architecture
Bok av David Jason Gerber
Paradigms in Computing: Making, Machines, and Models for Design Agency in Architecture brings together critical, theoretical, and practical research and design that illustrates the plurality of computing approaches within the broad spectrum of design and mediated practices. It is an interrogation of our primary field of architecture through the lens of computing, and yet one that realizes a productive expanding of our métier's definition and boundaries. It is a compilation that purposefully promotes architecture's disciplinary reach and incorporations beyond the design and construction of buildings and cities.The book offers a glimpse into the wide range of positions and experiences that areshaping practice and discourse today. The work included in Paradigms in Computingis evidence that models for enquiry are many and proliferating. As digitalization and computation continue to infuse our processes with new tools and new design environments, some of the trends collected in this book will continue to be central to theproduction and speculation of architecture, and others will, in retrospect, be recognizedas the seeds of new, or perhaps multiple, paradigms.
