Network Practices

New Strategies in Architecture and Design

Anthony Burke, Therese Tierney

The twin revolutions of the global economy and omnipresent Internet connectivity have had a profound impact on architectural design. Geographical gaps and, in many cases, architecture’s tie to the built world itself have evaporated in the face of our new networked society. Form is now conceptualized by architects, engineers and artists as reflexive, contingent and distributed. The collected essays in Network Practices capture this unique moment in the evolution of design, where crossing disciplines, spatial interactions, and design practices are all poised to be re-imagined. With contributions by architects, artists, computer programmers, and theorists and texts by Reinhold Martin, Dagmar Richter, Michael Speaks and others, Network Practices offers an interdisciplinary analysis of how art, science, and architecture are responding to rapidly changing mobile, wireless and information embedded environments.
