Summary:

"This book addresses contemporary architectural practice in which digital technologies are radically changing how the buildings are conceived, designed, and produced. It discusses these digitally-driven changes, their origins, and their effects, by grounding them in actual practices already taking place, while simultaneously speculating about their wider implications for the future"--BOOKJACKET.
