Description: This book examines the manifestations of architecture cities and design processes within digital culture. Adopting a comparative and critical method the author looks at past and present encounters of the digital with architectural discourse and practice. Along three central themes machines networks and computation the book begins by discussing transformations of the analogy between architecture and the machine since the early twentieth century foregrounding questions about the relations between architecture humans machines and the environment. It moves on to the city to observe how big data and smart city sustainable management systems have transformed historical visions of global networked cities. Lastly it explores computational design thinking historically and in the context of complex systems as well as the latest technical social and economic developments. Exposing possible drawbacks while still focusing on what is radically innovative this book proposes a way toward more liberating digital and sustainable futures for architecture. An important read for architecture students academics and professionals this book connects instances of digital architecture practice and discourse throughout the history of the digital culture paradigm and their ties with sociopolitical developments. It shares the possibility that these connecting lines may be the canvas for a novel architectural history of the recent past.
