Abstract :
In his introduction to this issue of AD, guest-editor Mike Silver celebrates the flexible language of commands and logical procedures of computers whose creative potential has until now been undervalued in architecture. He explains how the happy accident of late 1990s blob architecture is now giving way to a focus on programming and composing new code, which promises to generate new and unprecedented modes of expression.
