Testa & Weiser, Carbon Tower

Archaeology of the Digital

Publisher Description

Greg Lynn, Peter Testa, and Devyn Weiser discuss Carbon Tower, a prototype for a forty-storey building that exploits the affinities between two technologies that were rapidly advancing during the early 2000s: scripting and fibre-reinforced composite materials. This is part of the CCA multi-year research project Archaeology of the Digital, investigating the development and use of computers in architecture.
