Item description from seller

orig.wrappers Minor rubbing. Rubberstamp to bottom page-edge. VG. 30x22cm, 160 pp Contents: Antoine Picon "The Ghost of Architecture : The Project & Its Codification"; Daniel Sherer "Le Corbusier's Discovery of Palladio in 1922 & the Modernist Transformation of the Classical Code"; Peter Eisenman " Digital Scrambler: From Index to Codex"; Edward Eigen "The House of Entropy: On Schrödinger's Code-Script"; Carl Chu "Metaphysics of Genetic Architecture & Computation"; Sylvia Lavin "What Color Is It Now?"; Jonathan Massey "New Necessities: Modernist Aesthetic Discipline"; Felicity D. Scott "When Systems Fail: Arthur Drexler & the Postmodern Turn". ["Codes, as systematic forms of regulation and organisation, are not the innocuous or neutral documents they are often considered to be. Operating with or without legal sanction, they are formulated to ensure specific and predictable outcomes and are laden with authorial and authoritative intent. Nevertheless, while codes have come to be an increasingly pervasive force in contemporary architecture, they are still frequently dismissed as onerous and quotidian. This volume of Perspecta - the oldest and most distinguished student-edited, university-based American architecture journal - investigates the historical and ongoing evolution of the relationship between codes and architecture, from Vitruvian systems of mathematical proportion through current strategies in building legislation. Although regulations created to establish restrictive power over building have existed throughout history, architecture today is more than ever bounded, shaped, and directed by Minor rubbing. Rubberstamp to bottom page-edge. VG.
