Architecture Design Data: Practice Competency in the Era of Computation maps the systemic transformation reshaping architectural practice — from how design intelligence is generated to how it moves into construction without drawings as the primary medium.
About This Book
Architecture is undergoing a structural shift: the conventions that have defined how the profession thinks, communicates, and builds are being displaced by computational workflows and data-driven processes. This book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding those changes — not as distant speculation, but as present realities demanding professional response. Through detailed analysis and critical assessment, it charts a course for a practice competency adequate to the computational era, addressing how architects can regain agency over a discipline being reshaped around them. Essential reading for practitioners, educators, and students navigating the intersection of digital design, data, and construction delivery.
