There is no denying the transformational role of the computer in the evolution of contemporary architectural practice. But does this techno-determinist account tell the whole story? Are humans becoming irrelevant to the overall development of the built environment?

Thirty-four contributors including designers; engineers; fabricators; contractors; construction managers; planners; and scholars examine how contemporary practices of production are reshaping the design/construction process
