About This Item
The MIT Press, 2001 8vo (23.5 cm), VIII, 246 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelf wear, blind collector's stamp on the half-title). "The discipline of architecture depends on the transmission in space and time of accumulated experiences, concepts, rules, and models. From the invention of the alphabet to the development of ASCII code for electronic communication, the process of recording and transmitting this body of knowledge has reflected the dominant information technologies of each period. In this book Mario Carpo discusses the communications media used by Western architects, from classical antiquity to modern classicism, showing how each medium related to specific forms of architectural thinking." (from the publisher's synopsis)
