From the Back Cover

Elegance represents an important watershed in architectural design.  Since the onset of computer-driven technologies, innovative designers have, almost exclusively, been preoccupied with the pursuit of digital techniques.  This issue of AD extrapolates current design tendencies and brings them together to present a new type of architecture, one that is seamlessly tying processes, space, structure and material together with a self-assured beauty.

For this title, Ali Rahim, the editor of the seminal Contemporary Processes in Architecture and Contemporary Techniques in Architecture issues of AD, teams up with Hina Jamelle, also of the Contemporary Architecture Practice in New York.  The issue includes an extensive new essay by Manuel DeLanda on elegant digital algorithms, as well as contributions from David Goldblatt, Joseph Rosa and Patrik Schumacher.  Featured architects include: Asymptote, Contemporary Architecture Practice, Zaha Hadid Architects, Greg Lynn, Preston Scott Cohen and UNStudio.
