Synopsis
For nearly fifty years, the building has primarily been understood as a means rather than an end with- in architectural history and theory. This volume presents an alternative to that trend by reconceiving the building as a central discursive category in its own right. Contributors, including academics and architects from world-renowned institutions, aim to recast architectural design thinking as a domain of knowledge by turning the object into a primary concern. As a result, The Building offers insightful discussions of key architectural structures conceived in Europe, Asia, and the U.S.A. over the last three decades. In exploring these structures through a number of meta-disciplinary questions, this book suggests ways in which buildings can trigger conceptual frameworks whose influence extends well beyond architecture. A balanced text-to-image ratio caters to a variety of readers in both practice and academia.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Seit fast fünfzig Jahren wurde das Gebäude in der Architekturgeschichte und -theorie in erster Linie als Mittel und nicht als Zweck verstanden. Dieser Band stellt eine Alternative zu diesem Trend dar, indem das Gebäude neu als eine eigene, zentrale diskursive Kategorie gedacht wird. Die Mitwirkenden, darunter Wissenschaftler und Architekten aus weltbekannten Institutionen, wollen architektonische Gestaltungskompetenz neu als eigene Domäne des Wissens fassen, indem das Objekt der Architektur als ein primäres Anliegen verstanden wird. Im Ergebnis bietet «The Building» aufschlussreiche Diskussionen der wichtigsten Bauwerke, die in Europa, Asien und den USA in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten geschaffen wurden. Indem diese Bauten durch eine Reihe von übergeordneten Fragen jenseits der Disziplin der Architektur beleuchtet werden, zeigt dieses Buch auf, wie Gebäude einen konzeptuellen Rahmen aufspannen können, dessen Ein_uss weit über die Architektur hinausreicht. Das ausgewogene Text-Bild-Verhältnis wendet sich an ein breites architektonisch praktizierendes wie wissenschaftlich tätiges Leserspektrum. Seller Inventory # 9783037784983
