Paperback. Condition: Good. What is architecture when computers redefine it? Two books explore the nature and potential of architecture in the age of artificial intelligence. Inspired by architect Fritz Haller (1924-2012), a virtual persona asks him about the architecture of the future. The first book uses artificial intelligence to network the Internet of Things into a new architecture. The second presents six works by Fritz Haller in the multidisciplinary light of the 2020s and shows them like icons that already contain what was only thought of later. The two volumes are neither historical nor analytical - they are visionary and projective and, in some respects, represent an experiment in themselves. They show an architecture that does rethink and does not evaluate. An experiment on the 100th birthday of Fritz Haller, the pioneer of integral planning What would Fritz Haller say today about the architecture of the future? Volume 24 of the Applied Virtualiy Book Series (only available together).…
