"Digitalia gives an inclusive view of a new practice: digital design. For the first time, it brings together digital innovation not only in form-finding, but practical application, in particular environmental design, and analyses the ideas now driving an emerging convergence between the two agendas." "The incursion of computers into architecture has forced us to question what both are now for, and what their relationship is to each other. The answers vary widely and are mostly outside the mainstream. Where is the 'outside' located, in a Utopia or moving along a trajectory the mainstream will eventually follow? If these digital experimenters are ahead of the rest, do they constitute an avant-garde?" "In this book Hagan argues that there is indeed a digital avant-garde, or even, avant-gardes. There is a split between an 'autonomous' version pursuing form-finding and innovation in practice, and an 'engaged' version that loops back from the virtual to the actual - actual global urbanisation, actual global warming, actual meta-architectural problems." "With so much talent and intelligence on both sides, the split is self-defeating, and Hagan examines ways in which it is beginning to be bridged, and ways in which it could be bridged. If the future is digital, then this book is essential reading for anyone interested in architecture, urban design or computing."--BOOK JACKET.
