An account of architecture's postwar ambition to transform itself into a research-oriented and technologically complex discipline of design expertise.After World War II, a second modernism emerged in architecture--an attempt, in architectural scholar Joan Ockman's words, "to transform architecture from a 'soft' aesthetic discipline into a 'hard, ' objectively verifiable field of design expertise." Architectural thought was influenced by linguistic, behavioral, computational, mediatic, cybernetic, and other urban and behavioral models, as well as systems-based and artificial intelligence theories.
