Description: "This book starts out with the assumption that communication today is a "structural" component of society. Now more than ever, literally almost nothing can be generated without communication. This means that architects in general, and especially an increasingly greater number of specialists dealing with "communication design", must be more aware. The author carries out this search for awareness.

He particularly highlights the structure of data, the medium of the screen, and the modes of language which use images, sequential and hypertext structures. Underlying the form of the various materials is the concept that communication also opens up a new "narrative" space in tune with a general interest in an architecture that reacquires multiple layers of meaning."--BOOK JACKET.
