On Digital Architecture in Ten Books. Vol 1: Books I-III.: A Tractatus. Vol. 1, Books 1-3 - Paperback
by Ludger Hovestadt (Author), Ludger Hovestadt (Editor), Vera Bühlmann (Editor)
Treatise on digital architecture
Hovestadt's treatise strictly follows the model of the famous treatises by Vitruvius (De architectura) and Alberti (De re aedificatoria),
based on the supposition that we find ourselves in a comparable
situation today. Vitruvius and Alberti expressed the meaning of
architecture in their eras: Roman antiquity and the Renaissance.
Hovestadt has done the same for the present day, incorporating
considerations of physics, mathematics, technology, literature, and
philosophy.
Books 1 to 3 deal with the role of the architect and the objectivity of architecture.
Books 4 to 6 address the modalities of speaking about and encoding architecture: the secret, the public, and the private.
Books
7 to 10 are dedicated to actual digital mechanisms: artificial
intelligence, natural communication, gnomonics, and cultural heritage.
