Algorithmic Architecture
176 pages | Architectural Press; 1 edition (July 5, 2006) | English | ISBN-10: 0750667257 | 2.52 MB

It contains a series of provocative design projects, and yet it is not just a design or graphic art book per se. Following the tradition of architecture as a conglomeration of various design fields - engineering, theory, art, and recently, computation - the challenge of this book is to present a concept that, like architecture, is a unifying theme for many diverse disciplines.
