Bøker av Sean Keller

Keller examines architecture's fascination with quasi-automatic design methods in the 1960s and 1970s. Influenced by postwar developments in electronic computing, as well as by the rise of structuralist and poststructuralist thinking, architects and theorists began to radically reformulate how architecture could be created. Various approaches flourished, and despite differences, they all advocated a shift away from the architect's personal intuition toward the use of external tools and processes typically considered objective, logical, or natural, and therefore--in some way--automatic.
