Guest‐Editor Pia Ednie‐Brown provides a foil to Mario Carpo's discussion of digital innovation. She argues for an emerging ‘strange vitality’ in contemporary computational design that is highly innovative: being disruptive rather than incremental in the manner in which it seeks out innovation. She specifically describes how MOS (Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample) and New Territories/R&Sie(n), led by François Roche, are reinventing digital design in architecture by reconnecting it through a variety of media to broader cultural and social issues.
