About this title

Synopsis

The twin revolutions of the global economy and omnipresent Internet connectivity have had a profound impact on architectural design. The collected essays in Network Practices capture this unique moment in the evolution of design, where crossing disciplines, spatial interactions, and design practices are all poised to be reimagined. With contributions by architects, artists, computer programmers, and theorists, and texts by Reinhold Martin, Dagmar Richter, Michael Speaks, Marc Wigley, and others, Network Practices offers an interdisciplinary analysis of how art, science, and architecture are responding to rapidly changing mobile, wireless, and information-embedded environments.
