{"product_id":"eigenarchitecture-ludger-hovestadt-9783990436264","title":"Eigenarchitecture","description":"This book shifts the frame of reference for today's network- and structure oriented discussions from the applied computational tools of the 20th century back to the abstractness of 19th century mathematics. It re-reads George Boole, Richard Dedekind, Hermann Grassmann and Bernhard Riemann in a surprising manner. EigenArchitecture argues for a literacy of the digital, displacing the role of geometrical craftsmanship. Thus, architecture can be liberated from today's economical, technocratic and bureaucratic straight jackets: from physicalistic optimization, sociological balancing, and ideological naturalizations. The book comprises a programmatic text on the role of technology in architecture, a philosophical text on the generic and on algebraic articulation, and six exemplary projects by postgraduate students in 2012 at the Chair for Computer Aided Architectural Design at ETH Zurich, Switzerland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ludger Hovestadt, Vera Bühlmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3990436260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783990436264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ambra Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Ludger Hovestadt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47201124221183,"sku":"9783990436264","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17c89dcf-ce6f-4057-8192-fafda8db2577.jpg?v=1756788946","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eigenarchitecture-ludger-hovestadt-9783990436264","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
