Digitalia

<p>Susannah Hagan boldly discusses the fraught relationship between key dominating areas of architectural discourse - digital design environmental design and avant-garde design.</p><p></p><p><em>Digitalia</em> firstly demonstrates that drawing such firm lines between architectural spheres is damaging and foolish particularly as both environmental and avant-garde practices are experimenting with the digital and secondly remonstrates with an avant-garde that has repudiated the social/ethical agenda of the modernist avant-garde because it failed the first time round. It is environmental architecture that has picked up the social/ethical ball and is running with it using the digital to very different and more far-reaching ends.</p><p></p><p>As the debates rage this book is a key read for all who are involved or intrigued.</p>
