Abstract John Frazer trained as an architect in London and at Cambridge during the 1960s and 1970s. He identified at the very earliest stages of their development how the processing power of computers might assist the design process, and then tried to imagine the effects of this on the role of the architect, the client/user and the environment. For 30 years he has confronted this issue with tireless enthusiasm through teaching, researching and designing. Here, he presents a very personal rough guide To where he has been, with a thought for where he thinks we are at now. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
