Recenzje

"Theories of the Digital in Architecture is an exceptional book co-authored by two distinguished design scholars Rivka Oxman and Robert Oxman. This is a "must-read" for all researchers and practitioners in digital design and architecture. Focusing on theorisation, this book surveys the vastly diverse topics and technologies in the field. Together with 33 eminent scholars and industry leaders, Professors Rivka Oxman and Robert Oxman trace the origin and explore the evolution and future of the concept and application of digital thinking and technologies in architecture." - Dr. Ning Gu, The University of Newcastle, Australia
