Unconventional Computing: Design Methods for Adaptive Architecture is an exploration of this emerging terrain of negotiated acts of co-design between humans; nonhumans and matter; where spatial programs are regarded as acts of persuasion; cooperation and symbiosis. These practices may be considered as various species of unconventional; or nature-based; computing which aims to develop novel non-standard algorithms and computing architectures.15; 16; 17 These acts of design and production are not artificial or at odds with nature; but seamlessly entwined with its processes. Unconventional computing offers a platform for coupling information and matter so that; rather than being an afterthought to geometry; materials may participate directly in the design solution.

BohatkaTheatre architect John Eberson has always been a favorite of mine...and I love his style of atmospheric theatre designs. This book is a must for Eberson fans. Well written and well documented...a great read. The authors description of a picture on page 65 failed to point out that what we see is a newly masked proscenium arch with draperies so that a big CinemaScope screen could be installed. Eberson proscenium arches were usually narrow. This picture should be compared with that on page 64.Don Bohatka;Member of the Theatre Historical Society and a past Vice President0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
