Universal Architecture series edited by Bruno Zevi, No 71 (pp.96)

Born with the computer is a attempt to investigate the effects of the "Revolution" is having on our way of life, especially in reconsidering the place that today occupies the architecture, in technological innovation, media and telecommunications.

Christian Pongratz & Maria Rita Perbellini studying the architects of the generation that is facing on the American scene over the last five years of the twentieth century, narrowing the selection to a small group of architects, American in origin or cultural background, heavily involved in computer architecture.

It is, in fact, designers who have entered the world of architectural research tool when digital was now become part of the landscape of everyday life, affecting their relationship with the computer. Compared to the previous generation, using new technologies only as a design support, the new architects use computers as an engine of evolution and strength generated by applying the complexity of the virtual and built environments. They establish a new relationship with the urban context, no longer conceived as a place of resistance, collision juxtaposition, but as a common social experience, the city is no longer seen only as a built environment, but also as an event that includes the media they do not respect the traditional barrier or any other limitation of space. E 'useless to specify that we are faced with a very experimental phase, in which the approaches and the results are not yet readily identifiable and vary widely.

share the same cultural references the ten groups come to different results, the authors, grouped in two main areas: the architecture of the De-formation and architecture of the In-training. The protagonists were the first architects such as Karl Chu , Greg Lynn, Reiser + Umemoto and Wang As well, a trend is in a purely formal, in which the digital instrument is used to manipulate and deform surfaces, generating systems, topological fluid and malleable, released by the limit of Euclidean geometry. The second, however, is given by architects as Architecture Denari, Diller + Scofidio, Winka Dubbeldam, Marcos Novak, Asymptote Architecture and Thomas Leeser, this line redefines the space through the confrontation between architecture and media, creating physical environments adaptable and tactile and offering seamless integration of information, technology and people that generates hypersurfaces, pouches sensitive without end or limits .

be born when an object or a technique is already part of the landscape features of our lives and our world view of things? This is the question that this book invites us to respond. Actually reaching the end of this path of 96 pages you do not get answers or solutions, and Pongratz Perbellini not want explain nor express an opinion on this variety of ideas and experiments, but want to emphasize one thing only: c 'is a generation of young architects who are looking into new territories.
