Rethinking Architectural Education “Computation is the New Black,” the title of the seminar that has inspired this book, refers to an approach taken by Prof. Marco Hemmerling together with Prof. Luigi Cocchiarella to inquire further into the issue of the implementation of computation and digital technology in architecture, and the present-day education in architecture. The seminar was held at the School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering (AUIC) of the Politecnico di Milano in January 2016, in parallel with an exhibition showing the educational results of two courses focusing on computational design and advanced fabrication, led by Prof. Marco Hemmerling, who was teaching at our School as a visiting professor. Given the aim of Profs. Hemmerling and Cocchiarella to elucidate the role of digital technologies in architectural
