His latest book, ‘Digital Ground’, connects the fields of architecture and interaction design, and offers a theory of place for pervasive computing. His 1996 book ‘Abstracting Craft, The Practiced Digital Hand’ published by MIT Press, found an interdisciplinary audience for the creative work practices behind the digital economy.
