a+u 646: Post-Digitality in Architecture maps the current moment in architectural practice — one where digital tools are so embedded they have become invisible, and where the real challenge is what comes next.
About This Book
Post-digitality names a condition rather than a style: the point at which digital technology stops being a novelty and becomes infrastructure, forcing architects to ask harder questions about authorship, ecology, and form. This issue of a+u tracks those questions through the research and pedagogical programmes of three institutions at the frontier of architectural experimentation — SCI-Arc in Los Angeles, the Bartlett at UCL, and ETH Zurich. The projects gathered here are not speculative exercises but active investigations into how architectural thinking must evolve when technological and ecological disruption arrive simultaneously. Essential reading for practitioners and students navigating the post-digital landscape.
