Information architecture : basis and future of CAAD / Gerhard Schmitt. - Basel : Birkhauser, c1999. - 93 p. : ill. (some col.) ' 19 cm.
Table of Contents Architecture and computers 5 The computer as a new instrument in the architectural office 14 CAAD in design: the computer as a medium 40 Virtual architecture: the computer as partner and its impact on future architecture 59 Glossary 85 Web addresses 89 Bibliography 92
At present, the computer serves mainly either to transfer and improve concepts that already exist or to build more quickly and effectively. Its potential as a knowledge base for architecture has still not been fully explored. Gerhard Schmitt intends to illustrate a number of aspects of this new territory and to demonstrate how the pool of information accumulated in the data bases could be exploited and elaborated as the "fifth dimension" of architecture.
