A new generation of architects is pushing digital technology to its limits and continues a tradition of "organic" architecture, often labeled "blob-itecture." Following a trajectory traced from the 17th-century Baroque to the present by Joseph Rosa, these new designers expanded the non-Cartesian aesthetics of smooth, supple, and morphed forms by such 20th-century innovators as Frederick Kiesler, Buckminster Fuller, and John Lautner, and propel it forward into the digital age.
