Publisher's Synopsis
This volume announces the onset of a new era in architecture. It represents a redefinition of the architectural possibilities that were first opened up by Neil Spiller in his successful cyberspace titles of the late 90s. By looking beyond the present perception of buildings as static architectural objects, Spiller and his contributors concentrate on the potential of buildings to employ dextrous, cutting–edge technologies to create architecture that is reflexive. That is architecture which is highly responsive and intelligent, able to translate and connect to its contextual and environmental surroundings at a new level, while also operating in three or more spaces simultaneously. It is effectively an architecture that is wholly visionary rather than being grounded by the limitations of the present.
