[1st ed} The Architecture Machine: Toward a More Human Environment
First edition of Nicholas Negroponte’s groundbreaking techno-futurist preview of interactive computer-aided design and an early theoretical exploration of AI through its intersection with the metaphorically and structurally related field of architecture. Published in 1970 by MIT Press. Square 8vo, 153 pages in printed wrappers, fully illustrated in black-and-white. Negroponte (b. 1943) is a Greek-American architect, computer scientist, technological visionary, and founder at MIT of the Architecture Machine Group (1968) and the Media Tech Lab (1985). In The Architecture Machine, Negroponte projects not only symbiotic computer-aided design of buildings and environments, but a digital update of Corbusier’s Machine for Living and a new paradigm in human-computer dynamics. Minor foxing to text block. Rubbing and soiling to wrappers, with faint crease to front corner.
