Review Quotes: "This volume offers a valuable range of critical positions that seek to overcome the technical and ideological strictures conventionally associated with parametric design. In so doing, it outlines means for computational design to foster situated interventions which are sensitive to the urgent environmental concerns of our current times." --Miguel Paredes Maldonado, Senior Lecturer in Architectural Design, The University of Edinburgh, UK
