What is it about?
The book is a showcase of two highly illustrated architectural projects by Shaun Murray, that unpack the impact of virtual technologies on the design and communication in architecture. The ecologies of the projects not only specifies its structural changes it also specifies which disturbances from the environment trigger them. The book unpacks how an architectural project can engage and develop a different relationship with our environment through technological means.

Why is it important?
The book is important as it showcases radical new methodologies on the design and communication of architecture through drawing and ecological thinking from 1999, when architecture is undergoing radical change. One is the notion of a building existing in the form intended as a result of a complex interrelationships with it, or through it, or on it, where the building exists in the relationships between things, not the things themselves.
Perspectives
It has been over fifteen years since this publication and it is still ahead of its time where we all know understand buildings very differently with the impact of wireless communication networks and the way we receive information about the weather and environments is overwhelmingly ahead of our abilities to understand it.
