From Algorithms to Artificial Intelligence: Histories of Digital Reason

Mario Carpo’s work has traced the profound shift from mechanical reproduction to digital variation, redefining authorship, standardisation, and form-making in architecture. Computation introduces design logics based on algorithms, data, and automation, transforming how architecture is conceived and produced. This transition is framed as a cultural and epistemic transformation, where digital processes reshape the relationship between intelligence, authorship, and control within the discipline.
