SOM – Journal 10 is the latest in a series of volumes presenting, from a critical perspective, the projects from the architectural offices of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. As in the previous installments, an elected jury of experts in the fields of architecture and criticism review the projects, not only to examine their architecture and structural concepts, but also their sociocultural and historical references and impacts, to narrow in on a selection of finalists. The architectural firm is already a story in itself: founded more than eighty years ago, it has erected more than ten thousand buildings around the world. From this perspective, this compendium focuses on how a large architectural firm confronts questions of ethos and legacy when thinking about design.
Projects featured (selection): Al Ahmadi Cultural Center, Al Ahmadi, Kuwait; Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Terminal 2, Mumbai, India; Denver Union Station, Denver, Colorado; The University Center at The New School, New York; Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank Headquarters, Shenzhen, China

Taschenbuch. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut sg - ungelesenes mängelexemplar, gestempelt, mit leichten lagerspuren - SOM - Journal 10 ist der neueste Band einer Reihe, in der das Architekturbüro Skidmore, Owings & Merril seine Projekte in kritischer Auseinandersetzung vorstellt. Wie in den letzten Ausgaben wurde auch hier eine fachkundige Jury aus Architekten und Kritikern ausgelobt, um die Projekte nicht nur anhand ihrer architektonischen und strukturellen Entwürfe, sondern auch mit ihren soziokulturellen und historischen Bezügen und Wirkweisen vorzustellen, die für diese Ausgabe ausgesucht wurden. Dabei ist das Architekturbüro schon für sich genommen eine Geschichte wert: Vor mehr als 80 Jahren gegründet, finden sich weltweit mehr als 10.000 errichtete Bauten. Aus dieser Perspektive heraus betrachtet, konzentriert sich dieses Kompendium darauf, wie ein großes Architekturbüro mit ihren Designideen den Fragen von Ethos und Erbe gegenübersteht. Die vorgestellten Projekte (Auswahl): Al Ahmadi Cultural Center, Al Ahmadi, Kuwait; Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Terminal 2, Mumbai, Indien; Denver Union Station, Denver, Colorado; The University Center at The New School, New York; Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank Headquarters, Shenzhen, China.
