It develops a critical account of how the tools and techniques of digital design have emerged, and allows designers to deepen their understanding of the digital tools they use every day. What aesthetic, spatial, and philosophical concepts converge within the digital tools architects employ? What is their history? And what kinds of techniques and designs have they given rise to? This book explores the answers to these questions, showing how digital architecture brings together complex ideas and trajectories which span across several domains and have evolved over many centuries. It sets out to unpack these ideas, trace their origin and permeation into architecture, and re-examine their use in contemporary software. Chapters are arranged around the histories of nine ‘fragments’ – each a fundamental concept embedded in popular CAD applications: database, layers and fields, parametrics, pixel, programme, randomness, scanning, topology, and voxel/maxel – with each theme examined through a series of historical and contemporary case studies. The book thus connects the digital design process with architectural history and theory, allowing designers and theorists alike to develop more analytical and critical tools with which to conceptualise digital design and its software.VAN0229401Digital Architecture Beyond Computers : Fragments of a Cultural History of Computational Design.1882021GBLondonVANL000015BottazziRobertoVANV191724843410BloomsburyeditoreVANV144572Bloomsbury AcademicBloomsbury <editore>VANV146605Bloomsbury Visual ArtsBloomsbury <editore>VANV146611ITSOL20230616RICAhttps://www.bloomsburycollections.com/book/digital-architecture-beyond-computers-fragments-of-a-cultural-history-of-computational-design/E-book – Accesso al full-text attraverso riconoscimento IP di Ateneo, proxy e/o Shibboleth.BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI ARCHITETTURA E DISEGNO INDUSTRIALEIT-CE0107VAN01NVAN0229400BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI ARCHITETTURA E DISEGNO INDUSTRIALE01CONS E-BOOK SBAARCH 01EBA229400 20211019 E-book – Accesso al full-text attraverso riconoscimento IP di Ateneo, proxy e/o Shibboleth.Digital Architecture Beyond Computers : Fragments of a Cultural History of Computational Design1882021UNICAMPANIA
