About the book >.>.> We have not yet reached a static position in technological development that provides educators with a firm ground from which to enhance its use in architecture the ground is ever shitting. There is a need to allow technology to advance further before the importance of computers in the pursuit of architecture is wholly understood and adopted by the profession. Many people such as Marcos Novak feel that we are in the centre of a global architectural renaissance: that we are in an exhilarating climate where the most advanced and challenging architecture being designed around the world could not have been conceived without the use of the computer it is hard to deny such a proposition when looking at the changes in our surroundings. This seems to be ocurring in a similar although not as meteoric way to the increased use of the car which had dramatic effects on architecture and planning the use of the computer affects every aspect of our lives and therefore our built environment. This is the basic premise which is the nemesis for much of the work in the issue. The comprehension and combination of the real and vinuar worlds is something many of us find difficult to overcome How exactly can these environments inform each other? Christopher Romero explains how in seizing to impose physical reality conceptions upon those of the virtual he has begun to see the possibilities with greater clarity. His project Vortex 2000 defines a period of flux where critical tests and advances are continuous and humanity is cast into an abyss in order to achieve enlighten ment. (SP)
