Ubiquitous computing today is a reality, from the fab that grants you access to you office to your microwave or your car you can see the presence of integrated computing anywhere you put your eyes on. moving towards the ideas exposed in “Recombinant Architecture”, specifically to the field of the library, since the ever growing digitization of books and since more and more of the newly produced, written information is now digital, what will become of the actual physical space that once was employed to store these now “obsolete”(not because of what they are but because now we have other ways to access the information within them) books. an interesting solution that i have found is the use of the library as a making place. with the incorporation of 3d printers, now libraries become a place for the creation, sharing and development of this new form of production that still needs to be stored somewhere and made even more accessible to the general public. back to the use of computing within architecture, it seems like i am watching that video from corning glass again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Muv3R_6AXls
