Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This book argues that digital technologies have fundamentally transformed how architecture is conceived, designed, and built, by undermining the modern paradigm of identical copies. The author traces how architecture evolved from Renaissance‑era design as replicable “authorial” copies, through mass production, to the digital era — where variability, customization, and digital craftsmanship replace mechanical standardization. Through historical analysis and theoretical reflection, the book explores the implications of this shift for architectural authorship, creativity, and production.
