contemporary public space - unvolumetric architecture
"The latest in public space designs from around the globe
by some of the most experimental international designers and architects
working today. "The topic of this book, un-volumetric architecture is the
search for creative alternatives to the overly volumetric shape making
obsessions of international architecture today and a promising goal for the
21st Century." - James Wines This book examines an important selection of
the most important and experimental contemporary designs for public spaces
throughout the world and offers a critical reflection of the theme of
"unvolumetric architecture" proposed by the designers and theoreticians
featured in the book. The series of the selected projects moves from
earthworks and environmental interventions to surface design, land marks,
events, barriers, canopies and shelters, technical equipment,
micro-architecture and the most traditional urban design and involves some
of the most prominent international designers including Acconci studio,
Shigeru Ban, Eduard Bru, Manuel de Sola Morales, Odille Decq, Diler and
Scofidio, Noguchi Isamo, Toyo Ito, Wes Jones, Kengo Kuma, Torres& La Pena,
Mary Miss, N!Studio, NL architects, Oma, Site, Italo Rota, Sauerbruch &
Hutton, Venturi Scott Brown.
The book includes an introductory essay by
Denise Scott Brown as well as essays by Wes Jones, Pippo Ciorra, Kengo Kuma,
Arie Graafland, Enrico Morteo, James Wines, Bernardo Secchi and Ilhyun Kim."
