One morning as Tiger, the King of Karamba, walked proudly through his jungle, he heard giggles. The monkeys were giggling at him. At me? How dare they? Tiger rushed at them. They laughed at him. He tried to climb the tree. They mocked him. He roared at them. They laughed harder. Shocked, Tiger turned to look at himself and screamed. What...what is this? How did this happen? Where did this happen? When did this happen? And then he remembered what the wind had whispered last evening. Tiger, Tiger, You are free. But what have you lost At the tree? Tiger, Tiger, The ticks are dead. But at the tree What have you shed? He ran back to his den and hid in shame. He lost his confidence and courage. He refused to hunt. There was chaos in the Jungle. What had Tiger lost? Will he regain his confidence? Will balance return to the jungle?

Based on more than three years of rural and urban ethnographic research, this book is a study of the ways urbanization has become deeply embedded in the social, cultural, and economic life of a Senegalese community.

This book connects the different topics and professions involved in information technology approaches to architectural design, ranging from computer-aided design, building information modeling and programming to simulation, digital representation, augmented and virtual reality, digital fabrication and physical computation. The contributions include experts’ academic and practical experiences and findings in research and advanced applications, covering the fields of architecture, engineering, design and mathematics. What are the conditions, constraints and opportunities of this digital revolution for architecture? How do processes change and influence the result? What does it mean for the collaboration and roles of the partners involved. And last but not least: how does academia reflect and shape this development and what does the future hold? Following the sequence of architectural production - from design to fabrication and construction up to the operation of buildings - the book discusses the impact of computational methods and technologies and its consequences for the education of future architects and designers. It offers detailed insights into the processes involved and considers them in the context of our technical, historical, social and cultural environment. Intended mainly for academic researchers, the book is also of interest to master’s level students.
