Abstract
It seems, in many quarters, that technology is viewed as bad for aspirations for a sustainable future. This Neo-Luddite narrative is hampering the way the advantages and disadvantages of digital technology are perceived. Mario Carpo, Reyner Banham Professor of Architectural History and Theory at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UCL), argues that new technologies succeed older ones because they perform tasks better and more efficiently, innovatively and faster, both changing and responding to changes in societal and urban realms.
期刊介绍:
Provocative and inspirational, AD inspires theoretical, creative and technological advances. It questions the outcome of technical innovations as well as the far-reaching social, cultural and environmental challenges that present themselves today. -Having taken a pivotal role in the digital revolution in architecture in the 90s, AD provides must-have, cutting-edge content for students of architecture, academics and architects globally -Provides one of the most penetrating, insightful and in-depth views of key architectural topics today. Dares to ask why things are as they are, as well as tracing the latest trends. -One of the only truly international perspectives on architecture. It draws together worldwide architectural currents, regularly featuring work and practices from the UK, Europe, Americas, Asia and Australia. -Fully illustrated throughout in colour, AD provides an essential visual reference for architects and students. Each issue is individually art directed and designed to visually inspire.
