Add to basketNeuware - Höweler + Yoon Architecture, founded in 2001 and based in Boston, gained early praise for ephemeral and interactive public projects. Today, the studio is recognized for striking works that combine conceptual imagination and technological sophistication. Höweler + Yoon's impressive body of work has expanded the scope of design beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and has won them numerous national and international awards. Verify in Field is Höweler + Yoon's second book. Its title derives from a notational convention on architectural drawings to indicate that the information is subject to unknown conditions in the field. For both disciplinary and contractual reasons, the instruments of design- drawings, models, and prototypes-operate on the world at a distance. Techniques of prototyping, measurement, feedback, negotiation, and intervention inform the diverse output of the studio. The book highlights verification as an integral part of the design process and demonstrates it as a productive tool to test ideas and act on the world. Verify in Field features recent designs by Höweler + Yoon, including such projects as the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers at the University of Virginia; a floating outdoor classroom in Philadelphia; the MIT Museum; and a pedestrian bridge in Shanghai's Expo Park. Essays by Eric Höweler and J. Meejin Yoon examine the discipline's pressing questions as they relate to verification, uncertainty, and agency, addressing topics such as designing the public realm, the construction detail, and social media. These themes are further explored in conversations with collaborators, historians, and theorists: Adam Greeneld, Nader Tehrani, Kate Orff, Daniel Barber, and Ana Miljacki.; Höweler + Yoon, 2001 in Boston gegründet, erlangte rasch Aufmerksamkeit für ephemere, interaktive öffentliche Projekte und geniesst internationale Anerkennung für markante Bauten und Konzepte, die gestalterische Erfindungsgabe mit technologischen Finessen verbinden. Das beeindruckende Werk des Büros sprengt die herkömmlichen Grenzen zwischen den Disziplinen und wurde mit zahlreichen Preisen ausgezeichnet. Verify in Field ist die zweite Monografie von Höweler + Yoon. Der Titel verweist auf die Vorläufigkeit allen Entwerfens und die Notwendigkeit der fortlaufenden Überprüfung des Machbaren in der Praxis. Das Buch präsentiert 19 Bauten und Projekte, darunter ein Denkmal für Sklavenarbeiter auf dem Campus der University of Virginia, ein schwimmendes Schulzimmer im Freien in Philadelphia, das MIT Museum in Cambridge, USA, und eine Fussgängerbrücke auf dem Expo-Gelände in Shanghai. Die Essays von Eric Höweler und J. Meejin Yoon zu Mitteln und Methoden, Öffentlichkeit, Energie und Umwelt, Konstruktion oder soziale Medien beleuchten drängende Fragen heutigen Architekturschaffens. Begleitet werden die Texte von Gesprächen mit Adam Greenfield, Nader Tehrani, Kate Orff, Daniel Barber und Ana Miljacki.
