Summary:

"Blurring the Lines draws together the expertise of both architects and engineers who are working at the fore in this field, with contributions from Mark Burry, Lars Hesselgren, Kristina Shea and ShoP Architects. In addition to essays on key topics, covering the intersection of CAD-CAM techniques, case studies are featured that bring into focus these pioneering technologies. These include among others: Gehry's DZ Bank Conference Hall; Nox Architects' Son-O-House; Piano's Paul Klee Museum; Cook and Fournier's Kunsthaus Graz; and Massie's Digital Housings."--Jacket.
