Over the last two decades, the design ethos that has grown out of the digital turn has triggered key shifts in architecture. The far-reaching effects and consequences of this phenomenon are hard to spell out - and perhaps still too recent to be fully theorized. However, I think that some of the main shifts that occurred in our field can be summarized as follows: representation to simulation; composition to systems; collage to pixilation; geometry to image; close reading to virtuosity; and details to close ups.
