This book underlines the way in which architectural forms and design processes have developed historically in conjunction with the systems of sight we manufacture technologically and suggests this continues today. Paradoxically, it is premised on the argument that these technological systems tend, in their initial formulations, to obtain ever greater realism in our visualizations of the physical world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Cairns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138616680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138616684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Graham Cairns","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447850578175,"sku":"9781138616684","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_386b5ee4-af87-48f0-a54a-0dbb8f2cd39d.jpg?v=1777235229","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visioning-technologies-graham-cairns-9781138616684","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
