Description via Amazon. This book explores computation, specifically the craft of writing computer code, as a medium for drawing. Exercises, essays, algorithms, diagrams, and drawings are woven together to offer instruction, insight, and theories that are valuable to practicing architects, artists, and scholars. This book can serve as a primer for those new to programming or motivation and context for those with experience.“Computing” and “drawing” are both deeply historical and loaded terms. Although digital media is often positioned in opposition to the “manual” act of drawing, the broader territory of “computing” includes matters of language, rules, procedures, and orders that are very much compatible with the presence of ink on paper. Indeed, the nature of drawing―a temporal medium governed by marks that can be precisely defined, but not easily edited―provides welcome structure for computational methods.

The finished project should contain a resilient boardwalk system, a multi-use pavilion, ADA-compliant beach accesses, public art, shade structures, and restrooms.

“… because collage is a method deriving its virtue from its irony, because it
seems to be a technique using things and simultaneously disbelieving in them,
it is also a strategy which can allow utopia to be dealt as image, to be dealt in
with fragments without having to accept it in toto, which is further to suggest
that collage could even be a strategy which, by supporting the utopian illusion
of changelessness and finality, might even fuel a reality of change, motion,
action and history.” ROWE, Colin, KOETTER, Fred, “Collage City”, p.149, the MIT
press, 1983.
According to Schwarzer: “Today’s cities no longer make sense. Maybe they
should not make sense. Like post-modern society at large, cities are paradoxical
and ambiguous, constantly mutating under the impact of new life-styles,
fashions, technologies and view- points. They are the site of highly diverse
interactions, rapid ¯ fluctuations of capital, hazy physical boundaries and
seemingly irreconcilable architectural and urban movements.” SCHWARZER,
Mitchell, “The Contemporary City in Four Movements”, p.127, California College
of Arts and Crafts, 2010
We challenge you to creatively debate the city using the collage technique,

words.
