Treatise on digital architecture Hovestadt's treatise strictly
follows the model of the famous treatises by Vitruvius (De
architectura) and Alberti (De re aedificatoria), based on the
supposition that we find ourselves in a comparable situation today.
Vitruvius and Alberti expressed the meaning of architecture in
their eras: Roman antiquity and the Renaissance. Hovestadt has done
the same for the present day, incorporating considerations of
physics, mathematics, technology, literature, and philosophy. Books
I to III deal with the role of the architect and the objectivity of
architecture. Books IV to VI address the modalities of speaking
about and encoding architecture: the secret, the public, and the
private. Books VII to X are dedicated to actual digital mechanisms:
artificial intelligence, natural communication, gnomonics, and
cultural heritage. An architectural treatise for our age in 10
books Inspired by the works of Vitruvius and Alberti Published in
three volumes in the Applied Virtuality Book Series
