| summary |
The "Universale d?architettura" is a pocket book series which is now arrived at 40 titles. Printed by Testo&Immagine in Turin it is directed by
Bruno Zevi. It has a very large public, being distributed in newstands, in bookstores and mailed to subscribers at a very convenient price (6 dollars
each). Many of its titles will soon appear in English, French, Spanish and German. The book series is divided into different sections (monographs,
essays, architectural guides, anthologies) and in April 1988 a new section has been introduced. "La rivoluzione informatica" ("The Information
revolution") is the title and Antonino Saggio is the curator. Scope of this new section is to bring closer architecture and computers by providing
intellectual and cultural tools to orient the reader in a fast growing filed. The first book (Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi, Hyperarchitecture. Spaces in
the electronic era) is an essay that combines a critical overview of most recent projects by Ito, Arakama, Koolhaas, Libeskind with epistemological
consideration and researches coming from conceptual art. Three key words organized the material: projection, mutation, simulation. The next book
(Gerhard Schmitt, Information architecture) deals with foundation and future of Caad systems and it can be seen from one side as an extremely
updated manual and from the other as the construction of the developing lines of Caad research. Other forthcoming titles include: Virtual Terragni,
How works the Eisenman Office, Design and Build with Computers. "La rivoluzione informatica" is (not only in Italy but also, quite probably,
anywhere) the only book series which addresses the theme of architectural design in the electronic era. To better understand its scope, character
and goals, it follows the Afterward by Saggio to the first book.
