- Summary
- "The first book-length critique of the emerging field of generative architecture and its nexus with computation, biology, and complexity. Based on Christina Cogdel's field research in architecture studios and biological labs, this field-building book analyzes generative architecture by evaluating its scientific rhetoric and disjunction from actual scientific theory and practice, definitely explaining the role of the natural sciences within contemporary architecture." -- publisher.
