- Early computer software for CAD/CAM influenced the first digital age architecture with smooth lines and surfaces.
- Today's digitally intelligent architecture is characterized by tools for thinking rather than just making.
- Design professions are adapting to new digital tools that allow for mass-customization and prediction based on information retrieval.
- The power of computation now enables form-finding through simulation and optimization, rather than traditional deduction.
- Designers are exploring machine thinking and machine learning to create shapes expressing a new form of artificial intelligence.
- This shift heralds a new society without scale and a flat marginal cost society with bigger markets not necessarily leading to cheaper products.
