Inquiry into thinking / making

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2008.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 66-68).This is a journey into the usefulness of physical computing, its implications in architectural design, and its present dangers.There has been much that has been promised in technology-laden future cities and much that is emerging, but these do not necessarily lie along the same path. Without placing architecture within the discourse and development of these responsive technologies, the discipline will lose the opportunity to participate in the shaping of things to come.Simon YooHyun Kim.S.M
