Description

The Second Digital Turn: Design Beyond Intelligence by Mario Carpo The first digital turn in architecture changed our ways of making, but the second is transforming how we think. In this book, Mario Carpo explores how digitally intelligent architecture has evolved beyond the smooth lines and surfaces of the early digital age. As the design professions adapt to new digital tools, they are moving from making to thinking. The impact of digital mass-customization and machine learning on commerce and society is profound, enabling a flat marginal cost society where bigger markets do not lead to cheaper products. This shift in power favors a new kind of science that relies on sheer information retrieval and simulation-based optimization. The result is a new form of artificial intelligence that challenges traditional notions of design and thinking.
