Visioning Technologies brings together a collection of texts from
leading theorists to examine how architecture has been, and is,
reframed and restructured by the visual and theoretical frameworks
introduced by different 'technologies of sight' - understood to
include orthographic projection, perspective drawing, telescopic
devices, photography, film and computer visualization, amongst
others. Each chapter deals with its own area and historical period
of expertise, organized sequentially to mark out and analyse the
historical evolution of how architecture has been transformed by
technologically induced shifts in human perception from the 15th
century until today. This book underlines the way in which
architectural forms and design processes have developed
historically in conjunction with the systems of sight we
manufacture technologically and suggests this continues today.
Paradoxically, it is premised on the argument that these
technological systems tend, in their initial formulations, to
obtain ever greater realism in our visualizations of the physical
world.
