<br/><br/> "Softspace explores the notion that technological innovations in fabrication and visualization available to architects and designers today don't simply streamline the production of preconceived ideas and forms, but have the potential to influence the formal, spatial, and social environments we construct and inhabit. The publication focuses on today's advancements in the way architects visualize and operate in the investigation of form and space. The book highlights the implications of these technologies on the organizational, spatial and social aspects that architects often neglect while in the pursuit of form fabrication today."--Publisher description.
