Instabilities and potentialities : notes on the nature of knowledge in digital architecture / edited by Chandler Ahrens and Aaron Sprecher. - 1st ed. - New York : Cambrige, 2019. - xxii, 252 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.

Now that information technologies are fully embedded into the design studio, Instabilities and Potentialities explores our post-digital culture to better understand its impact on theoretical discourse and design processes in architecture. The role of digital technologies and its ever-increasing infusion of information into the design process entails three main shifts in the way we approach architecture: its movement from an abstracted mode of codification to the formation of its image, the emergence of the informed object as a statistical model rather than a fixed entity and the increasing porosity of the architectural discipline to other fields of knowledge. Instabilities and Potentialities aims to bridge theoretical and practical approaches in digital architecture.
