Chris Abel, Architectural writer and lecturer based in Sydney, Australia.
Description
This new selection of essays follows Chris Abel's previous best selling collection, Architecture and Identity. Drawing upon a wide range
of knowledge and disciplines, the author argues that, underlying technological changes in the process of architectural production are
fundamental changes in the way we think about machines and the world we live in.
Key topics include: new patterns of urbanism in the
fast growing cities of asia pacific; metaphorical extensions of mind and body in cyberspace; the divergent European and North American
values shaping Sir Norman Foster's and Frank Gehry's work, and the collaborative work methods and technologies creating the adaptable
design pratices of today.
Audience
Student and practising architects, engineers.
