Enlightenment Prelate : Benjamin Hoadly, 1676-1761 (Hardcover)

The term 'cyberspace' was first penned in 1984 by William Gibson in his science fiction novel, Neuromancer . However, the architectural possibilities of this area of design were being investigated well before the term was popularised, and with good reason: cyberspace is a habitat for the imagination, a medium that facilitates a unique creative freedom. In cyberspace, an artificial world exists that is no longer subject to the usual laws of physics. Freed from the restrictions of gravity, architects can create visual impressions of flying and floating through space. Within the cyber environment, architecture can become completely liquid. This book presents an exciting collaboration of colourful projects which demonstrate the increased potential of cyberspace. Some of the contributors include dECOi, Archi-tectonics, Ammar Eloueini of Digit-all Studio, UN Studio van Berkel & Bos, Kolatan/Macdonald Studio, Hariri & Hariri, Dr Haresh Lalvani, Arquitectonica, Oosterhuis.nl, Shubin + Donaldson, Asymptote Architecture, Stephen Perrella of Hypersurface Systems, Ocean, Alsop & St?mer and Reiser & Umemoto.
