Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Flux Redux is a book about design experiments undertaken at the Zurich and Los Angeles-based firm agps Architecture over the course of three decades. The story it tells addresses the evolution of a body of work relative to the evolution of environmental discourse, reflecting also on the shifting relations between technology and sustainability in architecture. The nine case studies from agps Architecture's portfolio record changes in how architecture is thought about and how it is made.Around 500 illustrations in the book are supplemented with texts by Marc Angélil, one of the founders of agps, and Cary Siress, architect and professor at the Nanjing University's Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning. Further contributions are provided by Swiss structural engineer Ernst Hofmann and Margarete von Lupin, a Zurich-based scholar of design and media studies and lecturer at Zurich University of the Arts and University of Zurich. Additional texts by Rainer Hehl, architect and visiting professor at Technische Universität Berlin and Yokohama National University, and Alvaro Siza, one of the most distinguished architects of our time, round out this inspiring volume that also offers observations on architects' never-ending task of trial and error to make each building a more sustainable agent of a larger environmental system.

Condition: Gebraucht, sehr gut. 1. Diese ungewöhnliche Monografie über das bedeutende schweizerisch-amerikanische Architekturbüro agps thematisiert die Nahtstellen zwischen Architektur und Alltag. Realisierte Bauten in den USA und der Schweiz werden aus einer anderen als der erwarteten Perspektive betrachtet. Es sind dies etwa das Aerial Tram in Portland, das Dock E im Flughafen Zürich, der Hauptsitz der internationalen Naturschutzorganisation IUCN am Genfersee, die Umnutzung der Waschanstalt in Zürich oder das Kindermuseum Los Angeles. Die 17 Bauwerke werden nicht als isolierte Objekte, sondern mitsamt ihrem Umfeld beschrieben. Was aus dem Gebrauch von Architektur entsteht, haben verschiedene Autorinnen und Autoren in Kurzgeschichten und Essays zu fassen versucht. Jede dieser Geschichten beleuchtet andere Facetten eines Projekts, um sich dem Leben mit und in der Architektur zu nähern. Eine weitere Erzählung führt in die für dieses Buch aufgenommenen Fotografien ein.

Hardback. Condition: New. A truly unique perspective on their own work: Swiss-American architectural studio agps, with offices in Zurich and Los Angeles, has delved deep into their archive and woven a visual thread of some 160 illustrations that guides readers through this new book. Literally Out of the Box, from archival box and model crates, models, model photos, small hand-drawn studies, visualisations, but also photographs of realised buildings have re-emerged, covering agps' entire work of decades of practice.The images are organised according to 13 keywords: spatial configurations that characterise agps' core design concepts and summarise central elements of their ideas. At the same time, they are terms that define the formal presence of their designs. The result is a multifaceted and inspiring insight into the work of an international firm that proves just how important spatial constellations are for the formulation of good architecture. Essays by Sabine von Fischer as well as by Marc Angélil and Cary Siress, along with an index of all featured buildings and projects, round off this unique volume.Text in English and German.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Bridging the domains of urban design, infrastructure, landscape, and architecture, agps architecture approaches problem solving as a collaborative enterprise, exploring the relationship between idea and practice and emphasizing the importance of the functional, technical, economic, environmental, and aesthetic in design and construction methods. The firm has designed multiple projects in America and Europe for government bodies and educational institutions, as well as several structures for commercial and residential use. Their projects in the United States include the Children's Museum of Los Angeles, lunch shelters for the Los Angeles Unified School District, storefronts in Los Angeles's Korea Town, private residences in California, and the Portland Aerial Tram. 'Open Ended' is the first comprehensive survey of the projects imagined and completed by agps architecture. Complete with color photographs of each of the projects, floor plans, sections, and elevations, as well as several essays that delve into frequently overlooked aspects of architectural design, this stunning volume serves as both a portfolio and a sort of exploration of latent, but recognizable traits that are as much a part of the buildings as their physical manifestation. Shrink wrapped - never opened.

Hardback. Condition: New. 74th ed. agps architecture is a multidisciplinary design cooperative with studios in Los Angeles and Zurich. The firm was founded in 1982 by Marc Angelil and Sarah Graham in the United States and the Zurich studio followed in 1992. Bridging the domains of urban design, infrastructure, landscape, and architecture, the group approaches problem-solving as a collaborative enterprise, exploring relationships between design processes and products. From the development of urban strategies to the identification of construction techniques, the work is based on conceptual strategies translated into physical form. 'Another Take' is the first comprehensive monograph on agps architecture's work and ideas. It presents selected projects with photographs from the vantage point of users, showing projects in their daily context, but also with floor plans, sections and elevations. A series of essays, conceived as stories, unravel hidden aspects of the work: a sort of psychoanalytical uncovering of latent traits that are as much part of the buildings as their physical manifestation.
