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. In essays and interviews, prominent architectural historians and educators examine the postwar "research-industrial" complex, its attendant cult of This nearly 1,000-page book examines the "techno-social" turn in architecture, taking MIT's School of Architecture and Planning as its exemplar.
