Opis

Argues that underlying technical changes in the process of architectural production are fundamental changes in the way we think about machines, as well as the world we live in.

Recenzje

'No one in my many years of work has ever written anything even remotely so erudite and penetratingly rational as Chris Abel's text. It is brilliant!' Harry Seidler

The (various) themes come together in what Abel calls Biotech Architecture, a shining vision of an integrated, collaborative, computerized building
design method, more like an organic process than a production line'.
Architectural Review, May 2005
