Opis

Review: This is a significant book at the time of widespread uncertainty and confusion in architectural theory, education and practice - Juhani Pallasmaa, architect and author of The Eyes of the Skin In this timely and important study, David Scheer offers a lucid analysis of a dramatic, unprecedented, epistemological shift in architecture and its production - Michael Sorkin, architecture critic, Distinguished Professor of Architecture and Director of the Graduate Program in Urban Design, City College of New York David Scheer offers a clear and unvarnished assessment of what architects have to lose and gain as we move from representative to simulated experiences, from controlling to collaborative practices, and from Euclidean to parametric/algorithmic form-making - Thomas Fisher, author of Designing to Avoid Disaster, professor of architecture and the Dean of the College of Design, University of Minnesota.

O autorze

David Ross Scheer received his Master of Architecture degree from Yale University in 1984. He brings a broad background in practice, teaching and research to his thinking about the effects of digital technologies on architecture. He has taught architectural design, history and theory at several schools of architecture around the U.S. and has lectured and written extensively on building information modeling (BIM). He has explored the uses of BIM and other digital technologies in his practice for nearly twenty years. As a longstanding member of the advisory group of the AIA Technology in Architectural Practice Knowledge Community (and its Chair in 2012), Mr. Scheer has gained a broad awareness of the evolving uses and effects of BIM and computation throughout the building industry.
