This paper responds to the session theme, Becoming Digital, in two ways: (1) By recognizing a cultural shift in the use of digital tools toward precise aesthetic ambitions, and (2) by analyzing a transitional body of work by the Los Angeles architect and educator, Coy Howard. The selection of Howard’s work from his 2010 exhibition at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, From Hand to Mouse, and his subsequent book from 2015, The Thickening of Time, demonstrate a critical moment, not only in the change in media of an architect predominantly known for his analog representational practices, but also within the context of digital image production in architecture that favors aesthetic results over techniques.
