- catalog abstract ""The mode of utilizing computers in architecture today is vague, inexplicit, and often, arbitrary. Designers tend to conceptualize entities or processes and then enter, manipulate and print using computer systems. Often, theories of design and form are 'translated' into computational ones, merely to participate in the digital fashion. This situation creates confusion, misunderstanding, and inconsistency to both students and practitioners over the appropriate use of computers in architecture and design. Challenging these assumptions, this book offers an appropriate theoretical context for computer-based experimentations, explorations and form-making. By employing computational and formal theories, the author offers a theoretical bridge between the establishment of the past and the potential of the future. With the increased use of computers, architecture has found itself in the midst of a plethora of possible uses. The book offers some alternative directions, which combine theoretical inquiry with practical implementation. Notions of exaggerated, hybridization, kinesis, algorithmic design, fold and warp are examined from different points of view: historical, mathematical, philosophical or critical. [This book] offers a unique perspective on the use of computers related to aesthetics and specifically to architectural form and design"--Back cover.".
