Soft cover. Condizione: New. Log 53 asks the simple yet provocative question "Why Italy Now?" The responses are as diverse and multifaceted as the country itself. Exploring this seemingly well-trodden ground, one discovers that because of its historic centrality and its precarity Italy remains relevant to the challenges facing architecture today. As contributor Giulia Amoresano writes: "Amid calls today to challenge the Eurocentrism of canonical histories of architecture's modernity and to work on decolonizing its theories and practices, work needs to be done on what we think canonical spaces are." Log 53 is guest edited by Alicia Imperiale in New York and Manuel Orazi in Macerata. Essays include philosopher Giorgio Agamben on a Venetian door, theorist Mario Carpo on blight in Piedmont, architect ElDante' Winston on violence in Bologna, historian Edward Eigen on the Club of Rome, architect Fabrizio Furiassi on the Mafia in Sicily, and reporter Mario Calvo-Platero on colonial architecture in Tripoli. Emilia Giorgi explores unplanned greenery in Rome, while Gabriele Mastrigli highlights the planned greenery of EUR. Iwan Strauven reviews books on Carlo Aymonino and Aldo Rossi, Britt Eversole parses the trove of untranslated Italian theory, and Ingrid D. Rowland details her translation of Vitruvius. Paulette Singley sets the place for Italian cuisine, and Giulia Amoresano sources caffè espresso in the colonization of southern Italy. An Tairan revisits an 18th-century earthquake, Daniele Profeta analyzes the impact of the 19th-century Grand Tour, and Davide Spina exposes the dark side of postwar architecture culture. Greg Lynn talks with art historian Marilyn Aronberg Lavin about her digital analysis of Piero della Francesca, and Patrick Templeton asks writer and podcaster Alex Hochuli about Italy's political legacy. Log 53 also presents projects by women building in Italy today Lina Malfona, Elisabetta Terragni, and Maria Alessandra Segantini as well as in the past overlooked Neapolitan modernist Stefania Filo Speziale.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. Log 35 offers cutting-edge architectural thought, both historical and speculative, for our hyperconnected world. The 21 contributors to this Fall 2015 issue offer new thinking from across and beyond the discipline of architecture, from investigations of architecture's encounters with politics, economics, and art to focused investigations of individual architects and studios, including Sou Fujimoto, Dogma, and Takefumi Aida. Log 35 also includes a 32-page excerpt from Benjamin H. Bratton's forthcoming book The Stack, which explores the consequences and possibilities of planetary-scale computation and the new geopolitical architecture it represents, plus a review of the book by Jeffrey Kipnis.

They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

Trade Paperback. Condizione: Used - Very Good. How to Read Architecture is based on the fundamental premise that reading and interpreting architecture is something we already do, and that close observation matters. This book enhances this skill so that given an unfamiliar building, you will have the tools to understand it and to be inspired by it. Author Paulette Singley encourages you to misread, closely read, conventionally read, and unconventionally read architecture to stimulate your creative process. This book explores three essential ways to help you understand architecture: reading a building from the outside-in, from the inside-out, and from the position of out-and-out, or formal, architecture. This book erodes boundaries between the frequently compartmentalized fields of interior design, landscape design, and building design with chapters exploring concepts of terroir, scenography, criticality, atmosphere, tectonics, inhabitation, type, form, and enclosure. Using examples and case studies that span a wide range of historical and global precedents, Singley addresses the complex interaction among the ways a building engages its context, addresses its performative exigencies, and operates as an autonomous aesthetic object. Including over 300 images, this book is an essential read for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of architecture with a global focus on the interpretation of buildings in their context. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. Back cover corner is creased.

15 cm x 22 cm. 414 pages. Illlustrations in black and white throughout. Original softcover. Very good condition with only very minor signs of external wear. Includes for example the following essays: Mary McLeod, 'Undressing Architecture: Fashion, Gender and Modernity'; Leila Kinney, 'Fashion and Figuration in Modern Life Painting'; Zvi Efrat, 'Diller + Scofido's "Bad Press": Unseemliness of the Fashionable' etc. The complicity between architecture and fashion is explored in essays by Mark Wigley, Val Warke, and Leila Kinney, among others, and architectural projects by Machado and Silvetti, Diller + Scofidio, and Venturi Scott Brown. Topics range from the encoding of gender in fashion within the work of Semper, Wagner, Loos, and Le Corbusier to a discussion of the body as a scaffold for the display of ready-made wear. Paulette Singley and Deborah Fausch provide an introduction."Architecture: In Fashion comes recommended with the caveat that it is not light reading. In fact, you may finish with a sense of wonder that it weighs so little, dense as it is with food for thought. This diminutive volume contains more theory than a freshman philosophy text, and the pictures are a hell of a lot better" -- Michael Jack, Architect. (Amazon) Sprache: english.
