Verb Processing

From classical work to the modern object, and from the modern industrial to "computerized" procedures, the interplay between author and user has become closer, more direct, more open. How does this increasing complicity affect architectural practice? How can architecture be conceived as a more fluid informational development? Publishing architecture is much more than displaying a recently finished product in which the architect is the unique author. To make architecture is a real undertaking in which numerous authors participate; it is based on the processing of information before, during and after the materialization of the building. This first issue of the new boogazine "Verb" deals with the present relationship between information and authorship in architectural practice, featuring works and texts by Manuel de Landa, Jorge Wagensberg, FOA Architects, Sadar & Vuga, njiric & njiric, Love, Lacaton & Vassal. This volume is also available in French (ISBN 84-89698-87-2) and Spanish (84-89698-88-0).
