Scripting Cultures: Architectural Design and Programming

Acknowledgements

First and foremost I must acknowledge with gratitude the contribution of Andrew Miller who has steered the complex Scripting Cultures project to its conclusion having undertaken the initial background research with tenacity. Ensuring that the scripting represented in Chapters 6 to 10 was at industry strength I gratefully acknowledge the expertise of Peter Wood (Chapters 5, 6 and 8), Dr Wojtek James Goscinski (Chapters 7, 8 and 9), Daniel Davis and Alex Peña de León (Chapter 10). For rendering support I thank the indefatigable Grant Dunlop (Chapters 5, 6, 7 and 9), James Loder (Chapters 8, 9 and 10) and Daniel Davis (Chapter 10). I thank Adam Corcoran and Michael Wilson for their contribution to the various diagrams that support the scripting throughout the book. I thank Brad Marion for the fabulous rapid prototype in Chapter 9 photographed beautifully by Andrew Miller. Thank you Jane Burry and Andrew Burry for reading and positive commenting, and Tim Schork for early input.

Chapter 3 was based on the extraordinary generosity from over thirty early and recent scripting pioneers who responded voluminously to the set of short ‘questions of the day’ that I posed. I am sorry to have been able to include only loose gems from the basket of jewels amassed, but all the contributions have substantially influenced the contents of Scripting Cultures. My sincere thanks to my scripting cultural defenders: Acconci Studio (Vito Acconci), Francis Aish (Foster + Partners), Robert ...
