Reviews"Theories of the Digital in Architecture is an exceptional book co-authored by two distinguished design scholars Rivka Oxman and Robert Oxman. This is a "must-read" for all researchers and practitioners in digital design and architecture. Focusing on theorisation, this book surveys the vastly diverse topics and technologies in the field. Together with 33 eminent scholars and industry leaders, Professors Rivka Oxman and Robert Oxman trace the origin and explore the evolution and future of the concept and application of digital thinking and technologies in architecture." - Dr. Ning Gu, The University of Newcastle, Australia, "Theories of the Digital in Architectureis an exceptional book co-authored by two distinguished design scholars Rivka Oxman and Robert Oxman.

SynopsisIn the form of a critical anthology , this book interlaces an ensemble of seminal articles by leading figures in the theory and practice of digital design with a series of original theoretical texts. It develops a meta-theory of the emerging interactions of media technologies and design in architecture. This theory is promoted as a foundation of transformations in design methods as well as a basis for the evolution of new forms of design thinking. The development of an explication of emerging concepts in the form of a new taxonomy is an important contribution in any form of discourse analysis. Theories of the Digital in Architecture attempts to develop such a conceptual orientation for the growing impact of the integration of digital media technologies in design. It locates these conceptual structures within a historical perspective that identifies the coming into being of a new epistemology of the digital in architecture., A comprehensive volume exploring theories of the digital in architecture, highlighting important thematic connections across design, architecture, digital models, techniques and technologies.
