Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. Visually, many contemporary buildings either reflect their systems ofproduction or recollect earlier styles and motifs. This division between productionand representation is in some ways an extension of that between modernity andtradition. In this book, David Leatherbarrow and Mohsen Mostafavi explore ways thatdesign can take advantage of production methods such that architecture is neitherindependent of nor dominated by technology. Leatherbarrow and Mostafavi begin withthe theoretical and practical isolation of the building surface as the subject ofarchitectural design. The autonomy of the surface, the 'free facade, ' presumes adistinction between the structural and nonstructural elements of the building, between the frame and the cladding. Once the skin of the building became independentof its structure, it could just as well hang like a curtain, or like clothing. Thefocus of the relationship between structure and skin is the architectural surface. In tracing the handling of this surface, the authors examine both contemporarybuildings and those of the recent past. Architects discussed include Albert Kahn, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Alison and Peter Smithson, Alejandro de la Sota, RobertVenturi, Jacques Herzog, and Pierre de Meuron. The properties of a building's surface--whether it is made of concrete, metal, glass, or other materials--are notmerely superficial; they construct the spatial effects by which architecturecommunicates. Through its surfaces a building declares both its autonomy and itsparticipation in its surroundings. A study of the building surface, architecturei1/2s primary instrument of identity and engagement with its surroundings. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.
