Soft cover. Condition: New. Guest edited by architect Greg Lynn, Log 36: ROBOLOG explores the challenges and potentials posed to architecture by the rapidly accelerating field of robotics. Tossing aside the usual fabrication-focused discourse around robots, the 23 contributors to ROBOLOG investigate topics ranging from hyperrealistic robotic drag queens to machine vision to buildings that move. In addition to a collection of thought-provoking essays, this issue includes conversations with Elizabeth Diller, Nicholas de Monchaux and Ken Goldberg, and Chuck Hoberman. Rather than providing easy answers or touting cutting-edge technologies, ROBOLOG offers provocations to both architects and theorists. Robotic sensors, actuators, and networks have fundamentally transformed the world around us. What will architecture choose to do with them.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. Log 19 tracks the reemergence of social considerations in architectural discourse, questioning what role architecture can and should play in society. The parametric is alternatively valorized and disavowed; Ron Arad s new museum is ransacked while Office KGDVS is coaxed from its silence; Georges Teyssot unravels J. Mayer H.'s sinuous Metropol Parasol project in Seville; Allan Weiss meditates on the garden at Ryoan-ji; Eric Owen Moss pays homage to Raimund Abraham; Tom Weaver reads poetry and the tedious prose of Leon Krier's Poundbury; Wes Jones reconsiders architecture as a game; Thomas de Monchaux writes on ''Rising Currents'' and the unexceptional reconstruction of Downtown Manhattan; plus observations on orphic Modernism in the forests of Asuncion, the flatness of Herzog & de Meuron's sets for ''Attila,'' a portfolio from the Hague, and more.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. SOM - Journal 10 is the latest in a series of volumes presenting, from a critical perspective, the projects from the architectural offices of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. As in the previous installments, an elected jury of experts in the fields of architecture and criticism review the projects, not only to examine their architecture and structural concepts, but also their sociocultural and historical references and impacts, to narrow in on a selection of finalists. The architectural firm is already a story in itself: founded more than eighty years ago, it has erected more than ten thousand buildings around the world. From this perspective, this compendium focuses on how a large architectural firm confronts questions of ethos and legacy when thinking about design.Projects featured (selection): Al Ahmadi Cultural Center, Al Ahmadi, Kuwait; Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Terminal 2, Mumbai, India; Denver Union Station, Denver, Colorado; The University Center at The New School, New York; Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank Headquarters, Shenzhen, China The series of critical discourse on architecture begins a tenth round: SOM - Journal 10 is the latest in a series of volumes presenting, from a critical perspective, the projects from the architectural offices of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut sg - ungelesenes mängelexemplar, gestempelt, mit leichten lagerspuren - SOM - Journal 10 ist der neueste Band einer Reihe, in der das Architekturbüro Skidmore, Owings & Merril seine Projekte in kritischer Auseinandersetzung vorstellt. Wie in den letzten Ausgaben wurde auch hier eine fachkundige Jury aus Architekten und Kritikern ausgelobt, um die Projekte nicht nur anhand ihrer architektonischen und strukturellen Entwürfe, sondern auch mit ihren soziokulturellen und historischen Bezügen und Wirkweisen vorzustellen, die für diese Ausgabe ausgesucht wurden. Dabei ist das Architekturbüro schon für sich genommen eine Geschichte wert: Vor mehr als 80 Jahren gegründet, finden sich weltweit mehr als 10.000 errichtete Bauten. Aus dieser Perspektive heraus betrachtet, konzentriert sich dieses Kompendium darauf, wie ein großes Architekturbüro mit ihren Designideen den Fragen von Ethos und Erbe gegenübersteht.

Hardback. Condition: New. For reasons both obvious and mysterious, even as our cultural and social constructions of domesticity change, the house remains a fundamental site for advancing modern architectural theory and practice: because it accommodates a full diurnal and annual cycle of life, and because it intricately stages ritual and routine, this most private of programs has become a medium of publicity and polemic. Thirteen Ways of Looking at a House both participates in and critiques this contemporary tradition. The reader's attention in this examination is directed not only to LEVENBETTS' houses, but to all houses, and all parts of houses - pieces of home and rhetorics of domesticity that show up in our collective memory: from a stolen moment on a staircase in a John Cassavetes film, to the sturdy knife-edged contractor modernism of suburban late to mid-20th century America.Thirteen Ways of Looking at a House is an accessible and universal book - everyone has a sense of home. The book includes 13 texts on domestic pieces that make up the house, comparative diagrams, construction metrics and anecdotes, informal photos, and structural details all in the interest of taking the house apart in order to put it back together.…

Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. Log 19 brims with informed debate and argument on the state of architecture today. Like the models for the invited international design competition for the Dance and Music Center in The Hague, these articles, when taken together, can be understood as a cross-section of how one makes architecture now. Is it as form? Function? Material? Cost? Context? Politics? What are the limits of representation in architecture? Log 19 takes parametrics to task, considers the consequences of climate change and environmental catastrophe, while examining the physical edges and conceptual boundaries of architecture. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.…
