| Summary |
"Abstract Space: Beneath the media surface is a book which investigates the cultural connections between new media and architectural imaging. Notions of what the architectural image means today are explored through a range of material, from theoretical texts to experimental design projects. Within a design framework based on innovation and divergent thinking. Abstract Space engages discourses from architecture, visual and cultural studies, to computer science and communications technology. Also tracing a provisional history of the topic, the book lends a provocative and multivalent understanding to the complex relations affecting the architectural image today."--BOOK JACKET |
