Short description
Folding in Architecture was originally published as an issue of Architectural Design in May 1993. More than ten years after its publication, it is widely considered one of the most influential publications on architectural theory in the nineties. It brings together a series of essays that many believe created the favourable environment in which computer-based design thrives.
