N2  - Presenting the hottest architectural visionaries from around the world, Digital Architecture Now celebrates the conceptual architects who are pushing digital design and software to their limits. In his introduction and concluding essay, Neil Spiller places this contemporary work in the context of recent developments and considers the future direction of digital architecture. The heart of the book features architects’ best projects, presented in vivid, colourful and breathtaking detail through texts, plans and renderings that challenge our assumptions about 3-D space and redefine the future of architecture
