Yet for a design historian this purely quantitative use of digital technologies is only marginally relevant. In the case of building and construction, costs and speed of delivery are of capital importance for economists, politicians, developers, as well as for society at large. As always, technical innovation allows us to keep doing what we always did, but faster or for cheaper which is a good enough reason for technical change to be happening at all. Any architect sketching the layout of a parking lot these days is likely using more electronic computation than Frank Gehry did in the 1990s to design the Guggenheim Bilbao.
Digital technologies are now a fact of life they are part to almost everything we do.
