Description: "CITA works is an illustrated volume that documents over 40 projects, events and research collaborations conducted between 2005 and 2014 by the innovative and experimental Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (CITA). Project descriptions are accompanied by photographic documentation and design drawings. The book contains essays by the head of CITA, Professor Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen, and Dr. Jane Burry, expert on mathematics in contemporary design. CITA works provides readers with insights into design-led practice-based architectural research that queries how computation challenges the way we think, design and build architecture. This research finds particular focus in questions of material performance, material specification and material design. "--
