Notes
Reyner Banham Professor of Architectural History and Theory at the Bartlett, UCL; previously head of the Study Centre at the CCA, Montréal (2002–2005). The Second Digital Turn won the Bruno Zevi Book Award (CICA) in 2020. [RECONCILED — merged duplicate across slices; themes unioned.] Duplicate sources removed: 'The Alphabet and the Algorithm' and 'The Second Digital Turn' each appear twice in the sources array (differing only in author string formatting). The Bruno Zevi Book Award (CICA) claim for The Second Digital Turn in 2020 could not be independently verified within available search budget; treat as unverified.
