Another Take: 17 Short Stories on Architecture - Hardcover
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.

Book Description 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.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 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. Seller Inventory # 9783858817181
