Correct: A simulated text editor

This paper describes a project to write a simulator for the native mode text editor of one computer, which could be run on a different computer. This was done to give a user of both computers a common editing language. The method of design and construction is presented together with brief details of the syntax and semantics of the editing language.     

Journal of Counseling Psychology (January 1973): Errata.

Go Brown: Inner-Disciplinary Conjectures

The relationship of society to its excrement is telling at both a cultural and social level. The notion of green architecture with its emphasis on the naturally pure has so far eschewed waste as a primary generative material. Alexandros Tsamis here invokes a more inclusive notion of the environment in which by-product becomes intrinsic to any project. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The Deep Structure of the Picturesque

The late Paul Coates was one of the first students at the Architectural Association (AA) in London to submit an international computation-based diploma, in 1969. Responsible for introducing a series of computational techniques, Coates was also the founder of the MSc in Computing and Design at the University of East London, and in 2002 the Centre for Evolutionary Computing in Architecture (CECA). In this unpublished article from 2008, which has been prepared and rewritten for publication by Christian Derix , Coates recounts his pursuit of ‘the particle physics of architecture’ - geometric rules that inform both unplanned and planned human occupation of space.

Metaphysics of genetic architecture and computation

Karl Chu ruminates on the far-reaching impact that the convergence of computation and biogenetics will have on the unfolding history of man and nature. Could the world be ‘moving into the so-called Post-Human Era, which will bring forth a new kind of biomachinic mutation of organic and inorganic substances’? How can architects reconfigure the practice of their discipline in order to meet the demands of this computational and biogenetic revolution? Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
