The Architecture Machine

YEAR: 1970
ITEM: Book
COMPANY: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology
COUNTRY: USA
IN OUR COLLECTION: Yes

The Architecture Machine is for students, for people who are interested in groping with problems they do not know how to handle and asking questions they do not know how to answer. Those people who know how computers should be used in architecture. or those who expect to find the answers in this volume, should not read on. This work results from playing and fumbling with both good and bad ideas. It is not a definitive work or magnum opus on the subject of computer-aided architecture or robot architects.
