Reviews

This theoretical and experimental approach proposes in the book the definition of a new architectural signifier, a digital signifier . Summoning Derrida's economy of language, the author intends to reform the tools of architecture to develop an architecture of architectures . In addition to the historical panorama, the work contributes to modeling the logical laws which, from Aristotle to Leibniz's Characteristica Universalis, determine the ontological conditions of the relationship between what appears and what one can know and what one can express. From then on, we understand the continual critical rapprochement between data and signifiers, and between information and representation.'' - Alexis A. Meier, Phd, Prof. INSA Strasbourg
