This book shows the activity of SHoP Architects as an emblematic example of the research area, the applications and the growing success of a contemporary American office focused on digital technologies for design and construction. What is peculiar of SHoP is the openness to all the different actors of the building process. An intense experimental intention is found in the works of the office, all embedded in a fully contemporary aesthetic dimension, focused on vibration and variation of building components. And the beauty of buildings is much more relevant since it is strictly connected to all pragmatic and technological aspects of architectural practice, and to the search for new paths of invention.
