Description
This issue addresses how architectural thinking and practices change in light of emergent technologies, and the belief that architecture changes only when society experiences fundamental shifts in the basic framework of thought. The author asks if the new science of nonlinear dynamics has supplanted the old one - if architecture is more attuned to nature than linear mechanics - and how far chaos and complexity theories have been accepted as primary explanations.
