Has the dominant influence of classical science on architectural aesthetics had its day? Mario Carpo , Reyner Banham Professor of Architectural Theory and History at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, comments on the evolution of a new science that has shifted away from continuous towards discrete models. As he observes, this is not limited to the most digitally minded: there are surprising parallels between the work of an architect such as Kengo Kuma, with all his anti‐computational zeal, and the young protagonists of the second digital turn.
