About this edition

Forty projects, each with the brief, the rule, the code fragment that carried it and the print that came out. Marchetti treats the algorithm as a drawing instrument with its own grain — one you have to learn the way you learn a nib. Chapters cover rule systems in architecture, plotter drawings, type generated from constraint, and what happens when a studio hands the same rule to a printer and to a screen.

“A rule is a drawing instrument. It has a grain you have to learn.”
