A visually stunning and compelling title in the Architecural Design (AD) series, which celebrates the aesthetic potential of digital technologies. This title of AD heralds a new era of exuberance in digital design. Having overcome the alienation and otherness of the cyber, having mastered the virtual qualitiesand protocols of the parametric, having achieved the intricacy and elegance of the digital, and having fully embraced the potential of 3D computer softwareand CAD/CAM manufacturing technologies, it is now time for architects to showoff! Conjure up the extravagance of furniture design, the abundance of CGI inHollywood, the profuseness of bio-techno ornamentation or the lavishness of Middle-Eastern and Asian super-urbanism. Exuberance not only celebrates new Baroque theatricality, formal sophistication and digital virtuosity; it also debates a plethora of joyful and intelligent ways in which experimental architecture manages to cope with the contemporary turmoil in global politics, economicsand ecology.Marjan Colletti is an architect, educator, researcher, and co-principal of marcosandmarjan design limited in London. He is a Lecturer in Architecture at the Bartlett School of Architecture UCL, He is also guest lecturer at Westminster University in London (diploma studio DS10).
