'This beautifully produced and illustrated book is an excellent reference book and a unique snapshot of the state of digital technologies in architecture today. '-Carol Hermann, Nexus Network Journal vol 6 (Autumn 2004) 'These mostly first-hand accounts by significant pioneers in the use of digital tools to make real architecture, many given in an easily digestible, almost conversational style, provide the core value of the book. The resulting mix is not a conference proceedings, nor a textbook, nor a manifesto, but a bit of all three.' - Brian Johnson, International Journal of Architectural Computing
