Title: Digital to analog
Description: "D2A - Digital to Analog surveys analog and digital conceptualization, visualization and production as they relate to architecture and design - the generation and transference of design ideas the recognition of computer-aided-visualization (CAV), the placeness of digital space, and the developing relationship of computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) to architecture. Assembling a framework derived from Borges, T. S. Eliot, and Louis Sullivan, D2A reflects on current work as it illuminates the past as well as the present, demonstrating digital architecture's position in a historical continuum. Presenting Gehry and the historic Catalan architect, Jujol, in a fictional exchange, D2A then observes Miralles, Calatrava, Vasulka, and Ito as pioneers across the turn of the 20th to the 21st centuries as well as across the digital divide. The book then concentrates on architects who formulate digital strategies based on differing qualities and capabilities of software thereby illustrating conditions from which digital architecture emerges."--BOOK JACKET.
