Inhaltsangabe

This is not only a source book of an international array of architects and ideas, an extravaganza of architectural theory and its realisation, but also contains extensive biographies of 35 architects. The fracturing of the barriers between theory and relaity is revealed as architecture moves from the studio and the realm of theory into street - the realm of practice, displaying an architecture of experimentation, invention and freedom. This book forms a rigorous up-to-the-minute view of architectural thinking today, and includes, inter alias, the work of Bernard Tschumi, Peter Eisenman, Morphosis, Coop Himmelblau, Daniel Libeskind and Itsuko Hasegawa.

Aus dem Klappentext

Theory + Experimentation An Intellectual Extravaganza Theory + Experimentation is a collection of the most stimulating and varied architectural work in the world today. It explores the interplay between them and reveals how both are integral to architectural practice, highlighting the major theoretical preoccupations of architects working in the nineties. Theory + Experimentation is not only a source book of an international array of architects and ideas, an intellectual extravaganza of architectural theory and its realisation, but also contains extensive biographies of thirty-five architects. It is the result of events at London's Royal Academy of Arts and the Royal Institute of British Architects and includes Bernard Tschumi's 'Six Concepts in Contemporary Architecture', published here for the first time, and a forum discussion of architects, academics and critics. Essays by Daniel Libeskind, Thom Mayne and Lebbeus Woods throw into debate the state and direction of architecture today. Unique to this volume are many pages especially designed by the architects themselves, giving the practitioners the opportunity to present their three-dimensional architectural ideas in two-dimensional book form. Theory + Experimentation includes extensive presentations of some of the recent key international projects that have been influential in architectural schools and landmarks in the history of contemporary architecture. And, above all, it reflects the position of architecture now - as Bernard Tschumi states: 'to "define" a space ... physically and conceptually, is exactly the place where architecture is.'
