Description
With the increasing speed and power of personal computers and the decreasing cost of specialized tools like building information and engineering analysis software, laser cutters and CNC routers, architects have a growing toolkit of digital design and manufacturing resources at their disposal. But can the availability of new technologies really be expected to bring about a true revolution in the field of architecture? Fabricating Architecture addresses the broad range of issues that grow out of these emerging technological innovations. Gathered together for the first time are twelve key essays by important critics, theorists, and architects on this timely and essential topic.
