Network Practices: New Strategies in Architecture and Design
The twin revolutions of the global economy and omnipresent Internet connectivity have had a profound impact on architectural design. Geographical gaps and in many cases architecture's tie to the built world itself have evaporated in the face of our new networked society. Form is now conceptualized by architects engineers and artists as reflexive contingent and distributed. The collected essays in-áNetwork Practicescapture this unique moment in the evolution of design where crossing disciplines spatial interactions and design practices are all poised to be reimagined.
