Critical theory by Oliver Grau. "Although many people view virtual reality as a totally new phenomenon, it has its foundations in an unrecognized history of immersive images. Indeed, the search for illusionary visual space can be traced back to antiquity. In this book, Oliver Grau shows how virtual art fits into the art history of illusion and immersion. He describes the metamorphosis of the concepts of art and the image and relates those concepts to interactive art, interface design, agents, telepresence, and image evolution. Grau retells art history as media history, helping us to understand the phenomenon of virtual reality ... [details]

This is a splendid tour of our architectural world, from pyramids to bridges, from Gothic cathedrals to skyscrapers , from huts to sports stadiums. With clarity, simplicity, and pleasure, Dr. Salvadori explains the theory and techniques of structural engineering : not only why structures stand up, but also why sometimes they fall down. Celebrating the beauty of architecture and our instinctive recognition of satisfying structures, Dr. Salvadori shows the connection between the technique and its fruits, especially in the adventures of building such masterpieces as the Eiffel Tower, Hagia Sophia, and the Brooklyn Bridge.
