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.
