With the advent of the computer in architectural design, it is becoming increasingly important for the architect to have a broad-based, thorough working knowledge of the concepts and techniques of computer-aided design (CAD). Exploring new territory, this guide covers a broad range of the drawing, design, and management issues architects are currently facing or soon will be facing. It presents both fundamental and advanced tactics that you can use to get the best possible results in applying computers to your architectural practice and is intended to help you take full advantage of the computer's assistance in visualizing and organizing your work. Both helpful tips and practical techniques are incorporated with future speculation about the computer/architecture marriage given.

Today, it is hard to imagine the everyday work in an architectural practice without computers. Bits and bytes play an important role in the design and presentation of architecture. The book, which is published in the context of an exhibition of the same name of the Architekturmuseum der TUM at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich (October 14, 2020 to January 10, 2021), for the first time considers - in depth - the development of the digital in architecture. In four chapters, it recounts this intriguing history from its beginnings in the 1950s through to today and presents the computer as a drawing machine, as a design tool, as a medium for telling stories, and as an interactive communication platform. The basic underlying question is simple: Has the computer changed architecture? And if so, by how much?
