Soft cover. Zustand: New. 224 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 29 cm. Summary:"The architecture of Scogin, Elam, and Bray offers an uncontestably intriguing object for critics and theorists. Their practice is markedly unconventional, but still participates in and reinterprets numerous architectural conventions, from 'modernism' and 'economy' to 'regionalism' and the proprieties of the profession. This ambitious work and the skillful subtlety of its forms provokes a reconsideration of what makes architecture critical, as well as a reformulation of prevalent approaches to architectural criticism. Thus Mark Linder, in his preface, introduces a book in which 'the architecture and the writing are equal partners.' Based on the symposium 'Critical Architecture/Architectural Criticism: the Work of Scogin Elam and Bray,' held in May 1990 at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, this book is neither simply a presentation of a firm's oeuvre nor merely a collection of illustrated essays. It presents the visual and verbal material in a way that emphasizes the interchanges and debate of the symposium. The authors, all of whom participated in the symposium, explore nine built projects and other unrealized designs by this adventurous young firm, including the downtown branch of the High Museum, Turner Village at Emory University's Candler School of Theology, and the Buckhead Library in Atlanta"-- Page 4 of cover.

About the book >.>.> This book was conceived with a double purpose: it is a monograph on the architecture of Scogin Elam and Bray as well as an anthology of contemporary architectural criticism. The parity of this doubling constitutes a truly unusual union; because monographs conventionally focus single- mindedly on the presentation of architecture, their texts are subordinated (as commentary or description) to the images and drawings. In this book the writing and the architecture ate con- ceived as equal partners that question the entirely common but nonetheless reductive tendency toward ranked oppositions, such as creativity over criticisin, or theory over practice. The essays in this volume are not simple explanations of the architecture, just as the photographs and drawings are not readily revealed through written descriptions. The very concept of a critical monograph assumes an active complicity between architecture and writing, responsibility and desire, criticism and design, taste and judgment, and so on-a complicity that is ext.
