"Programming Architecture is a good book. It makes an invaluable contribution to the field of generative design. I recommend this book to designers interested in the history of computing and computational design and to computer experts in genetic programming interested to explore a new field of application such as architectural design." – Benachir Medjdoub, Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines

• Introduction 1. Falling Between Two Stools 2. Rethinking Representation 3. In the Beginning was the Word 4. The Mystery of the Machine that Invents Itself 5. Evolving the Text - Being even Lazier 6. The Text of the Vernacular. Epilogue. Glossary
