• Resumen

  • New technologies, by definition, change fast, as does our cultural awareness of our use of them. Mario Carpo, Reyner Banham Professor of Architectural History and Theory at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UCL), explains how in the course of the last few years much of our discourse on new technologies has been driven by an unexpected and, in many ways, inexplicable development: the availability of almost unlimited data storage and data-processing capabilities at ever-decreasing - and often almost negligible - costs. As digitally intelligent designers and structural engineers have not failed to notice, this simple, almost banal technical development has the potential to disrupt the way we design and calculate almost everything.
