Summary:
D'Eschyle à Kissinger, de Marx à Barrès, l'Occident a tenu un discours sur l'Orient. Mais, puisque "l'Orient" n'existe pas, d'où vient ce discours et comment expliquer son étonnante stabilité à travers les âges et les idéologies? "L'Orient" est une création de l'Occident, son double, son contraire, l'incarnation de ses craintes et de son sentiment de supériorité tout à la(...)

Summary:
D'Eschyle à Kissinger, de Marx à Barrès, l'Occident a tenu un discours sur l'Orient. Mais, puisque "l'Orient" n'existe pas, d'où vient ce discours et comment expliquer son étonnante stabilité à travers les âges et les idéologies? "L'Orient" est une création de l'Occident, son double, son contraire, l'incarnation de ses craintes et de son sentiment de supériorité tout à la fois, la chair d'un corps dont il ne voudrait être que l'esprit. A étudier l'orientalisme, présent en politique et en littérature, dans les récits de voyage et dans la science, on apprend donc peu de choses sur l'Orient, et beaucoup sur l'Occident. C'est de ce discours qu'on trouvera ici la magistrale archéologie, augmentée de la préface que l'auteur rédigea en 2003 pour le 25e anniversaire de la publication originale de l'ouvrage.

Summary:
Architects are now taking advantage of the computer in new ways through experimentation with algorithmic and simulation-driven design. Computation Works focuses on this emerging theme in design practice, showcasing built and soon to be built projects and providing a state of the art in computational design. The use of algorithmic and simulation-driven design raises important new questions which the book examines including: how is computation changing the way architects design? How can computation create new forms of architecture? Is there an aesthetic to computational architecture? Are the design tools and methods related to the result?
