Summary:

"Architectural Principles in the Age of Cybernetics offers a theoretical account of the body, anthropomorphism and proportion in modern architecture, daringly bridging Renaissance and mid-twentieth century architecture with today's interest in post-humanism and digital design - in the process radically challenging conventional modern architectural history." "The book is written for an informed but non-specialized architectural audience and is designed to appeal to professional architects, academics and students, by serving as a general introduction to central issues of architectural history, theory and design over the past fifty years while suggesting new formulations of what that history constitutes."--Jacket.
