Summary:

For Barkow Leibinger, 'revolutions of choice' means architectural potential as driven by the rise of new technical possibilities. Yet it also stands for the longing to anticipate and control processes of architectural production. How can we better implement the tools we use, and how does their combination impact the architectural result? The works presented in this volume range from prototypes and installations to buildings such as the recently completed Tour Total, in which form and space evolve by means of the handling material with the aid of new technologies and tools.
