The Architecture Machine

The Architecture Machine

Muriel Cooper, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1970

Description

The book examines the use of computers to aid the designer and planner. It looks several machine generations ahead to a future in which genuine man-machine dialogue is achieved. The author, particularly sensitive visually, with a background of design and spatial organization, developed the modular system in close coordination with the Design Director. The book was cheaply produced.

Special Features: Silver foil stamping on front in same module as interior text; blind stamping on spine.
