    How to Be a Vampire: A Fangs-On Guide for the Newly Undead

    Amy Gray

New Flatness: Surface Tension in Digital Architecture (IT Revolution in Architecture)

by Alicia Imperiale

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In recent architecture theory and practice there has been a tendency to refer to exteriors as a skin concealing an interior, as opposed to the traditional and more physical concepts of surface, flatness, and depth. The computer now enables the architect to call his design into life and view it as a flexible and interactive creation. In this book, the concepts of flatness and surface tension are examined in the light of virtual design and built reality. A selection of exciting projects from various architects are presented to show how they regard space and surfaces in modern architectural practice in a digital age.
