Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Este libro es una recopilación de reflexiones sobre el impacto de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) en la arquitectura. El impacto de las TIC en la arquitectura ha sido objeto de atención y ha generado algunos de los debates más activos y polémicos de la disciplina. Tras más de tres décadas de desarrollo, La digitalización toma el mando recoge algunas vías de trabajo que se han ido abandonando, otras en plena discusión, así como los nuevos planteamientos que están emergiendo en estos momentos. Esta antología de textos constituye una toma de posición que pretende incentivar y reconducir la reflexión sobre el papel de la tecnología en la arquitectura. Lluís Ortega (Barcelona, 1972) es arquitecto por la Escuela de Arquitectura de Barcelona (ETSAB) y miembro del estudio F451 Arquitectos de Barcelona. Fue director de la revista Quaderns d'Arquitectura i Urbanisme (2004-2005) y ha sido profesor en Harvard University (2006-2009). *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. One of the earliest physical models of a machine learning a concept Gordon Pask. "Physical Analogues to the growth of a Concept" from volume II (of two) Mechanisation of Thought Processes conference at London's National Physics Laboratory, HMSO 1958 (1959), and generally considered one of the very earliest AI conferences. Pask's paper (Session 4B, Paper 7) is extracted from the larger bound volume and has a new cloth spine cover along the old spine making the physical object very presentable. This issue comprises pp 877-928, including "Appendix Physical Analogue to the Growth of a Concept" pp 917-922. AND: J. McCarthy "Discussion on the Paper by Mr. G. Pask" pp 923-928. [++] Pask had constructed a physical device that could learn to discriminate and form concepts through electrochemical growth within the apparatus.--Pickering, Andrew. The Cybernetic Brain: Sketches of Another Future. University of Chicago Press, 2010, pp. 208 214. [++] Pask s electrochemical devices of the 1950s provided some of the first physical models of concept learning machines whose structure changed so as to acquire new discriminations.--Boden, Margaret A Mind as Machine: A History of Cognitive Science. Oxford University Press, 2006, Vol. 1, pp. 315 320. [++] "Pask entered the field of cybernetics in 1958 at the Mechanization of Thought Processes conference at London s National Physics Laboratory (Pask, 1959). Pask s paper, Physical Analogues to the Growth of a Concept explained how learning and concept development were dynamic processes (Scott, 2007) using the metaphor of a plexus or network of electrodes in solution with thermally sensitive resistance. Per Pask s (1959) demonstration, concept development spurring changes in mental models occurred in a networked fashion. Changes in one part of an assemblage or system create ripples, producing a change in other parts (of neurons/individuals). Supplying the electrolytic assemblage with varying currents produced changes distributed across the assemblage."Gordon Pask s Conversation Theory and Interaction of Actors Theory: Research to Practice" by Shantanu Tilak et al. On the website "Enacting Cybernetics.".

Card Covers. First Edition, First Printing. An offering of two exceedingly rare issues by the profoundly consequential, avant-garde architectural collective known as Archigram. Formed in the 1960's in London, its members comprised of: Peter Cook, Warren Chalk, Ron Herron, Dennis Crompton, Michael Webb, David Greene, and "hidden hand" designer Theo Crosby. Archigram - a conglomeration of (Architecture+Telegram) - would go on to become one of the, "most seminal, iconoclastic and influential architectural groups of the modern age. They created some of the 20th century's most iconic images and projects, rethought the relationship of technology, society and architecture, predicted and envisioned the information revolution decades before it came to pass, and reinvented a whole mode of architectural education and therefore produced a seam of architectural thought with truly global impact." Intended as, "a free-form magazine [it] was designed to explore new projects and new thinking which were overturning the strict modernist dictates of the 1960s." [Source: Archigram Archival Project].
