内容简介：

Digital Fabrications是关于设计软件和硬件的论文和故事的集合。每篇文章都扩展了新兴趋势，设备，弱点和现象。这些文章问我们如何描述我们的后数字设计劳动？设计软件的政治性是什么？架构如何适应一个在很大程度上依赖于平台和脚本的世界？互联网和VR的空间机制是什么？使用讲故事的技巧，本书讲述了软件无处不在的事实和它控制我们文化产品的几种方式。内容推荐：

"Digital Fabrications is a collection of essays and half-true stories about design software and hardware. Each piece expands on emerging trends, devices, foibles, and phenomena engendered by an increased reliance on interactions with interfaces in the discipline. The essays ask, how do we characterize our post-digital design labor? What are the politics of design software? How is architecture adapting to a world largely dependent on platforms and scripts? What are the spatial mechanisms of the internet and VR? Using storytelling techniques, this book accepts that software is everywhere, and narrows in on a few ways it has taken command of our cultural products.

From the perspective of architectural design, a field traditionally associated with sketching and its own myths of creativity, computers are an essential workplace tool. Projects rely on a wide assortment of software packages and standalone applications, but rarely do architects reflect on the structure of those programs or how they have infiltrated our disciplinary conventions. PDFs and JPGs are as much a part of our vocabulary as plans, sections, and elevations. A drawing today might refer to a rendering, a CAD document, a proprietary BIM file, or anything that describes a project visually. While one way of examining this disciplinary shift might be to re-imagine how these formal conventions are shifting thanks to digital technologies, this collection of essays puts forth another way: to look at the behaviors, collective trends, and oddities emerging as a result of global software proliferation. These stories, featuring Twitter bots, drawing apps, artists, architects, mobile devices, and Martians, reflect on the vital role interfaces play in all aspects of design, and ask what it means to design in the age of software."
