After spending about quadruple the time we allotted for it, the formandcode.com website for our forthcoming book Form+Code in Design, Art, and Architecture is online. The site includes photos of the book and the code for each chapter’s examples (the code isn’t printed in the book), as well as the Contents, Bibliography, Links to people featured in the book, and more. Here’s the official description for the book:

Once the exclusive domain of programmers, code is now being used by a new generation of designers, artists, and architects eager to explore how software can enable innovative ways of generating form and translating ideas. Form+Code in Design, Art, and Architecture offers an in-depth look at the use of software in a wide range of creative disciplines. This visually stimulating survey introduces readers to over 250 significant works and undertakings of the past 60 years in the fields of fine and applied art, architecture, industrial design, digital fabrication, visual cinema, photography, typography, interactive media, gaming, artificial intelligence (AI), artificial life (a-life), and graphic design, including data mapping and visualizations, and all forms of new media and expression.

The book will be available on 1 September 2010 and is currently available for pre-order at Amazon, etc.
