Reviews

"The 760-page Atlas of Digital Architecture is an ambitious reference book about the myriad ways architects use computers. With contributions by two-dozen experts in the digitization of architecture and hundreds upon hundreds of illustrations, the book is a nearly complete picture of the digital world architects occupy.“ (John Hill in ADAILYDOSEOFARCHITECTUREBOOKS, 02.2021, https://archidose.blogspot.com/2021/02/atlas-of-digital-architecture.html)
