Then I opened Alice, I chosed the Xenotheka Library and as topic of conversation I chosed “architecture”. I began my research with the author’s name: Domenico Fontana.

When I arrived on the Ask Alice website, I was a bit caught off guard, so I watched the replay of the first lecture, and immediately everything became clear. So I entered “civil architecture” as a keyword and architecture as the subject of the discussion. Then I decided to wander through Alice’s different brains. In…

Previous research has led me to following findings: The book is divided in three chapters and every chapter is dedicated to its own topic: What…
