Summary:
A new era is rapidly approaching when computers will not merely be instruments for data creation, manipulation and management, but, empowered by artificial intelligence, they will become agents of design themselves. Architects need a strategy for facing the opportunities and threats of these emergent capabilities or risk being left behind. Architecture’s best-known(...)

Summary:
A new era is rapidly approaching when computers will not merely be instruments for data creation, manipulation and management, but, empowered by artificial intelligence, they will become agents of design themselves. Architects need a strategy for facing the opportunities and threats of these emergent capabilities or risk being left behind. Architecture’s best-known technologist, Phil Bernstein, provides that strategy. Divided into three key sections – Process, Relationships and Results – this book lays out an approach for anticipating, understanding and managing a world in which computers often augment, but may well also supplant, knowledge workers like architects.

Summary:
The book, ''Architecture as fabulated reality,'' marks the culmination of AAPK’s four experimental architectural projects, which employed virtual reality technology (VR) as the primary medium. The four projects explore a new emerging sense of spatiality, fabulating and questioning the notion of reality based upon shared backgrounds and attitudes to contemporary architectural discourse. To enhance ideas advanced by AAPK, the book invites four guest contributors from the architectural academic field in forms of critical essays or an interview. They reveal their collective interest in the power of the image and in forms of reality, in medium specificity and digital technology, and in presentation and representation along disciplinary lines. The subject of the book becomes clearer by curating and connecting each text, and meanwhile, makes it possible to reflect upon the situation that architecture is facing in the reality crisis caused by today’s digital technology or image culture.

Edited by a pioneer of the digital revolution, this new book takes its cue from the practice of mass-customization, one of the most important design and retail trends of recent years, to consider how variations on the same design idea can be applied to a broad spectrum of architectural, engineering, and construction solutions. The book has three parts: a group of essays(...)

Les nouvelles technologies recomposent le monde selon leur propre logique, celle de la performance et de l’efficacité.

Summary:
Les nouvelles technologies recomposent le monde selon leur propre logique, celle de la performance et de l’efficacité. Elles renforcent le règne de la compétition et l’exigence d’aller toujours plus vite, de se mobiliser intégralement pour son entreprise et sur les « réseaux sociaux », d’être capable de s’adapter à toutes les évolutions technoculturelles, sous peine d’être exclu. L’Homme numérique croit avoir trouvé l’autonomie en se débarrassant des pesanteurs du vieux monde matériel. « Enfin libre! », dit-il, alors qu’au contraire, il dépend de plus en plus de dispositifs technoscientifiques. Pour rester dans la course et tenter de maîtriser un réel qui lui échappe, il multiplie les machines. Mais ce sont elles qui désormais le possèdent.

Si l’humain augmenté est le dernier avatar de l’utopie technique, il exacerbe la vision purement informationnelle de l’homme et de son rapport à l’autre. Lorsqu’on parle d’humain augmenté, on sous-entend en général un individu plus fort, plus intelligent, à la longévité plus longue, etc. Autrement dit, on pense à une augmentation de ses capacités. Dès lors, l’individu se(...)

Summary:
Si l’humain augmenté est le dernier avatar de l’utopie technique, il exacerbe la vision purement informationnelle de l’homme et de son rapport à l’autre. Lorsqu’on parle d’humain augmenté, on sous-entend en général un individu plus fort, plus intelligent, à la longévité plus longue, etc. Autrement dit, on pense à une augmentation de ses capacités. Dès lors, l’individu se trouve réduit à un ensemble de fonctions motrices, cognitives, etc. L’altérité disparaît. Il n’y a plus de rupture entre l’homme et la machine, la pensée elle-même étant conceptualisée comme une propriété émergente des interactions au sein d’un substrat matériel biologique ou électronique.

Summary:
We turn on the lights in our house from a desk in an office miles away. Our refrigerator alerts us to buy milk on the way home. A package of cookies on the supermarket shelf suggests that we buy it, based on past purchases. The cookies themselves are on the shelf because of a “smart” supply chain. When we get home, the thermostat has already adjusted the temperature so that it’s toasty or bracing, whichever we prefer. This is the Internet of Things — a networked world of connected devices, objects, and people. In this book, Samuel Greengard offers a guided tour through this emerging world and how it will change the way we live and work.
