Digital Architecture Beyond Computers explores the deep history of
digital architecture, tracing design concepts as far back as the
Renaissance and connecting them with the latest software used by
designers today. 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.
