The Second Digital Turn

Mario Carpo

Overview

The first digital revolution in architecture transformed how we create, introducing a style defined by smooth, curving lines. The second digital turn, however, fundamentally alters our approach to thinking about architecture. Today's digitally intelligent designs no longer reflect the aesthetics of the early CAD/CAM era. This shift occurs as design professions adapt to new digital tools that serve as instruments for thought rather than mere production.
