Summary:

"Offers an alternative vision for the future of architecture, a timely and invaluable contribution to the debate concerning this ear of extreme computational control. An esteemed group of architects and educators discuss a range of cultural perspectives surrounding Evan Douglis' innovative pedagogical research."--Page 4 of cover.
