Digital Signifiers in an Architecture of Information: From Big Data and Simulation to Artificial Intelligence

This insightful book introduces a groundbreaking connection between computational design and architecture, offering a detailed examination of architectural representation throughout history. It’s a must-read for anyone passionate about architectural design, architecture theory, or computational architecture.

Unleash your creative spirit in the realm of architecture with the help of this book’s cutting-edge theories. Learn how computation has cultivated new representational paradigms in architecture, similar to the transformation brought about by perspective during the Renaissance.

Key features of the book include:

– Understanding the role of software, robotics, and fabrication tools in modern architectural design and construction.
– Exploring why architecture hasn’t taken a more prominent role in the development of computational technologies that define architectural representation.
– In-depth cultural criticism, theory, and history, highlighting the relationship between these elements.
– Insightful discussions on revolutionary representational architecture displaced by traditional spatial projection.
– Discovering the notable architects, artists, mathematicians, and philosophers who have revolutionized their fields through new technologies and systems of representation.
– Exploring the future of architecture in relation to big data, higher-dimensional space, and artificial intelligence.

This book is an essential read for upper-level students and researchers in architectural design and theory, particularly those interested in computational design and robotic fabrication. Discover how you can expand your architectural authorship using the latest in survey technology, information representation, and more.

Immerse yourself in an architecture of information with this engaging and informative book. Start your journey in understanding and expanding the creative potential of computation in architecture today.
