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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Birkhauser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45140410007703,"sku":"9783990436264","price":2767.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783990436264.webp?v=1767147151","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/eigenarchitecture-9783990436264","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
