These range from climate change and public health to advanced ideas about manufacture and construction. The text demonstrates multiple and hybrid paths in which building information modeling (BIM) and outgrowth technological processes including environmental simulation and human-robot interaction can be utilized in today's contemporary context, expanding the architect's agency by focusing on a more conceptual, and ecological, basis for our work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganized into three sections revolving around technology, environment, and architectural practice, the book includes diverse project examples and case studies highlighting concepts and exploring the interconnectedness between broader architectural territories. Moving beyond a basic understanding of the role of computation in architecture and design, the work shows how to think critically and speculatively about technology's deeper and more lasting impacts on both architecture and society.
