Techno Architecture

Featured here is the groundbreaking work of Jones, Partners: Architecture (Los Angeles); RoTo (Los Angeles); TEN Arquitectos (Mexico City); and Smith-Miller + Hawkinson (New York), each of whom approach the question of the machine and the application of technology in radically different ways. From Wes Jones's overt celebration of the mechanistic to Michael Rotondi and Clark Stevens's experimentation with Native American building traditions, to Enrique Norten's technological regionalism and Laurie Hawkinson and Henry Smith-Miller's sophisticated use of components from the aerospace industry, each architect's interpretation of technology results in unexpected and entirely novel buildings.
