Well worth a second look
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is one book that slipped under my radar screen. I passed it up several times but once you get past the cloyingly bright graphics and the unfortunate coffee table format this volume is well worth the effort. As it turns out, Hybridspace delivers what might be seen one day as the first accessible account of the impact of digital technologies on architectural design. The introduction is particularly clear, intelligent and succinct and the firm profiles are condensed, neat introductions to the works of an emerging and talented generation of architects.To boot, if you get rid of the silly jacket, you'll have a handsome, black cloth bound volume that will sit nicely your shelves.
A must have for cyber-architects:)

On first glance of the title i knew i was in for something good. This book provides a good analysis of the present work of worldwide architects that employ the computer as a 'means to the end' of architecture for the next millennium. I was already familiar with the architecture firms of today that are on the cutting edge of computer design work. So it was nice to see that this author is able to acknowledge these architects and present their architecture story in the form of this book. The luscious illustrations and graphics that this book presents are plentiful, informative and in other terms unique. The information is theorectical and practical which compliment the illustrations which gives this book the depth required for the serious architect. I dont hesitate to recommend this book for the future architects that intend to take their designs to a new level, the computer level.
