Media architecture has evolved from illuminating iconic building façades at night to characterising all life in cities. This compendium draws on academic research and global studies to present an evolutionary account of concepts that have defined the field and inspired practice, alongside methods for bringing media architecture thinking into projects.

Thirty media architecture installations that were nominated for the Media Architecture Awards in 2018 and 2020 illustrate the breadth and trends in the field, including a shift towards more-than-human futures. Through its three parts, capturing concepts, methods and practice, the compendium offers an accessible guide to media architecture for designers, architects, artists, scholars, educators and learners.

Several of the authors are board members of the Media Architecture Institute, a non-profit organisation with offices in Vienna, Sydney, Beijing and Toronto.
