Book launch
On Friday, editor Teresa Fankhänel, Andres Lepik and designer Jonas Beuchert from PARAT.cc will present "The Architecture Machine", the catalogue for the upcoming exhibition (14.10.20 to 10.01.21). The live stream on Instagram starts at 5.30 p.m.
Today, it is impossible to imagine everyday life in an architectural office without the computer. Bits and bytes have already taken over important tasks in the design and presentation of architecture. The book, which is being published as part of an exhibition of the same name at the Architekturmuseum der TUM in the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich (14.10.2020-10.01.2021), is the first comprehensive look at the development of the digital in architecture.
From its beginnings in the 1950s to the present day, it tells this exciting story in four chapters and presents the computer as a drawing machine, as a design tool, as a medium for storytelling and as an interactive communication platform. The basic question behind it is simple: Has the computer changed architecture? And if so, how much?
