Almost a generation ago, the early software for computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) spawned a style of smooth and curving lines and surfaces that gave visible form to the first digital age, and left an indelible mark on contemporary architecture. But today's digitally intelligent architecture no longer looks that way. In The Second Digital Turn, Mario Carpo explains that this is because the design professions are now coming to terms with a new kind of digital tools they have adopted -- no longer tools for making but tools for thinking. In the early 1990s the design...

Architekten sind es gewohnt, visuell zu entwerfen. Um ihre Entwurfsgrundlagen zu erweitern, stellt dieses Buch die Zusammenhange zwischen Klang, Raum, Horen und Architektur dar. Dafur nutzt der Autor zeitgenossische wie historische Bauten und Projekte, aber auch fiktionale, philosophische und theoretische Ansatze: schliesslich soll der Klang nicht nur als Quelle, sondern auch als Instrument des architektonischen Raums definiert werden. Durch die Einfuhrung in eine Metatheorie des "kritischen Horens" konnen die Entwerfenden ihre Projekte bereits in der Entwurfsphase akustisch prufen und...

Not unjustly referred to as legendary, this series of books on the history and theory of architecture and urban development was founded in 1963 by Ulrich Conrads, who was joined by Peter Neitzke as a co-editor of the series in the early 1980s. Now numbering over 150 titles, it is the most comprehensive German-language book series covering these fields. Following the deaths of the two longtime editors Ulrich Conrads (2013) and Peter Neitzke (2015), a...
