Architecture's New Media. Principles, Theories and Methods of Computer-aided Design

Computer-aided design (CAD) technology has already changed the practice of architecture since the 1970s, and it has the potential to change it even more radically. With Architecture's New Media, Yehuda Kalay offers a comprehensive exposition of the principles, methods, and practices that underlie architectural computing. He discusses the aspects of information technology that are pertinent to architectural design, analyzes the benefits and drawbacks of particular computational methods, and looks at the potential of emerging computational techniques to affect the future of architectural design
