They reassess utopian projects - masculinist, feminist, colonialist, progressive - of the late 19th and early 20th...

These topics are addressed through the methodologies of history,...

Expressive Form: A Conceptual Approach to Computational Design
ISBN: 9780415317443 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The mode of utilizing computers in architecture today is vague, inexplicit, and, often, arbitrary. Designers tend to conceptualize entities or processes and then enter, manipulate and print using computer systems. Often, theories of design and form are translated into computational ones, merely to participate in the digital fashion. This situation creates confusion, misunderstanding, and inconsistency to both students and practitioners over the appropriate use of computers in architecture and design. Challenging these assumptions, this book offers an appropriate theoretical context for...

Opinions are still divided over who was at fault when he resigned after a row with the client...
