This is the dumbest smart book on contemporary architecture. What really is this technology that we speak of? How do we define intelligence? These are just two of the questions that this book attempts to answer through the unconventional (and seemingly ironic) lens of dumbness. Historical examples in science, art, and architecture ground dumbness as a means to convey a trajectory to practice smarter. Instead of a singular authoritative vision, over fifty contributors answer the question, What is the dumbest, but smartest thing you've done? These unique responses provide a vivid lens into the culture of contemporary architecture and the rigor behind it. With contributions by:
