Introduction

Overview
This chapter presents an introduction to the book \"Convergence: The Redesign of Design\" by Randy Deutsch. This book, as an investigation and meditation on the impact of technology on the education and making of design professionals, sees convergence as a way to explain and illustrate what is happening now in the world of architectural design, as well as to discuss the implications for the future of education, training, and practice. Chapter 1 looks at other fields that have experienced convergence, and explains how convergence relates to, but ultimately differs from, integration, consolidation, multi‐tasking, automation, and other forms of optimization. Chapters 2 through 8 explore convergences in contemporary design practice that now occur at the meeting of two seemingly opposite forces: data and intuition; analytics and model; parametrics and computation; virtual and physical; design and fabrication; and conception and construction. Architects in particular are about to go through a period of intense change, a transformation brought about due to convergence. An understanding of the convergence that is taking place is pivotal to practice and how architects will work in the years ahead.
