Hovestadt's treatise, a profound exploration of digital architecture, adheres closely to the model established by the renowned treatises of Vitruvius (De architectura) and Alberti (De re aedificatoria). It assumes a comparable situation in our present day, drawing upon the wisdom of these ancient authors. Vitruvius and Alberti, in their respective eras of Roman antiquity and the Renaissance, expressed the profound essence of architecture. Hovestadt has carried forward this legacy, seamlessly integrating considerations of physics, mathematics, technology, literature, and philosophy into his work.
The first three books delve into the role of the architect and the objectivity of architecture. They explore the philosophical underpinnings that shape the discipline and the ethical principles that guide its practice. These books provide a solid foundation for understanding the philosophical dimensions of digital architecture.
The subsequent four books address the modalities of speaking about and encoding architecture. They explore the secret, the public, and the private realms of architectural discourse, shedding light on the various ways in which architecture can be communicated and represented. These books offer valuable insights into the ethical and social implications of digital architecture.
The final three books are dedicated to actual digital mechanisms. They explore the realm of artificial intelligence, natural communication, gnomonics, and cultural heritage, highlighting the innovative technologies and approaches that shape the digital landscape. These books provide a comprehensive overview of the technical aspects of digital architecture and offer practical insights into its implementation.
In conclusion, Hovestadt's treatise stands as a monumental contribution to the field of digital architecture. By drawing upon the wisdom of ancient authors and integrating contemporary perspectives, it offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the discipline. This treatise is a valuable resource for architects, designers, scholars, and anyone interested in the intersection of architecture, technology, and society.
