E-BOOK
Acceleration, Slowness examines the shifting relationship between architecture, technology, and culture in a time of ecological crisis and digital transformation. Moving between theory, narrative, and experiment, the book traces how generative methods and artificial intelligence challenge architectural imagination, at times accelerating it and at other times forcing it to slow down.
Through reflections on language, ethics, and method - and through a case study on the transformation of a vacant barn - the book explores how new tools might coexist with imagination and craft. It is not a manual, but an open-ended inquiry into how architecture can remain critical and imaginative within the tension between speed and stillness.
Rather than offering conclusions or fixed methods, this book invites reflection. It shares processes, trial and error, and techniques shaped by a time of restraint and profound change.
As this is self-published work, please refrain from distributing the ebook. Your support means a lot.
