Contemporary architectural design constitutes of multiple layers in terms of methods, digital technologies, representation, construction techniques and marketing. From single objects to apartment blocks, from restoration to the recent digital design technologies, from construction techniques to new materials, architecture needs to be reconsidered in terms of methodology.
