The Architect's Field Guide to Computation will be a concise guidebook and compendium to accompany an architectural designer working on active projects that would benefit from the judicious use of computation. The approach is guided by an idea of "practical computation", understood as a foundations-first, visually-rich, and practice-centered approach to the subject that will remain useful across cycles of software versions and changes in scripting languages. Much like other books on computational design process, The Architect's Field Guide to Computation will assist the practicing architect...
