Paperback. Condizione: New. For the past decade, the Los Angeles architect Michael Maltzan has designed multiunit housing in a city known for its proliferation of single-family residences. Working with the Skid Row Housing Trust, these projects advance new forms of supportive housing that address the services and infrastructures needed for their particular populations of inhabitants. For Maltzan, housing manifests an incredibly complex set of spatial problems-social, economic, political, typological, aesthetic, and urban-that recast architecture's role in framing the social relationships and individual challenges of everyday urban life. Social Transparency includes a recent lecture by Maltzan at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, as well as reflections from fellow practitioners on this sustained engagement with housing and the city.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. More than 1,000 representations of the human figure in architectural drawings by architects ranging from Aalto to Zumthor, removed from their architectural context. Michael Meredith, Hilary Sample, and MOS present their rich findings on the human presence in architectural drawings not in any chronological or other linear order, but based on the convention of the encyclopedia, thus presenting (and perhaps deliberately condoning) surprise encounters made possible by the contingency created by alphabetical order. From the contemporary perspective of a pluralistic world, the form of the encyclopedia may be particularly apt to represent such a vast body of material as is presented here: defying any linear historical account or master narrative, it invites the reader to construct his or her own readings of the material by establishing relationships between individual drawings. -From the foreword by Martino Stierli Throughout history, across radically different movements in Western culture, the human figure appears and reappears, in multiple guises, to remind us, the observers, of architectural purpose and of our mutual position in the world.This encyclopedia has enlarged or reduced all figures to the same approximate scale. Meredith, Sample, and MOS have gathered them here in an unprecedented, intoxicating way, like being at a fabulous party. -From the afterword byRaymund Ryan Architects draw buildings, and the buildings they draw are usually populated by representations of the human figure-drawn, copied, collaged, or inserted-most often to suggest scale. It is impossible to represent architecture without representing the human form. This book collects more than 1,000 scale figures by 250 architects but presents them in a completely unexpected way: it removes them from their architectural context, displaying them on the page, buildingless, giving them lives of their own. They are presented not thematically or chronologically but encyclopedically, alphabetically by architect (Aalto to Zumthor). In serendipitous juxtapositions, the autonomous human figures appear and reappear, displaying endless variations of architecturally rendered human forms. Some architects' figures are casually scrawled; others are drawn carefully by hand or manipulated by Photoshop; some are collaged and pasted, others rendered in charcoal or watercolors. Leon Battista Alberti presents a trident-bearing god; the Ant Farm architecture group provides a naked John and Yoko; Archigram supplies its Air Hab Village with a photograph of a happy family. Without their architectural surroundings, the scale figures present themselves as architecture's refugees. They are the necessary but often overlooked reference points that give character to spaces imagined for but not yet occupied by humans. Here, they constitute a unique sourcebook and an architectural citizenry of their own.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Exploring Frank Gehry's early career through five buildings he designed using scrappy materials and low-cost constructionThis book presents five lesser-known buildings by Canadian American architect and designer Frank Gehry (born 1929) from an early stage in his decades-long career. Gehry is best known for his iconic building designs including the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Dancing House in Prague. Photographed by the renowned Swedish architectural photographer Johan Dehlin, this selection of lesser-known early works, built in the late 1970s and early 1980s, laid the foundation for Gehry's international breakthrough a decade later. During this early period in his career, Gehry experimented with low-cost construction and "off the shelf" materials in creating a series of highly inventive projects in the Los Angeles area. Johan Dehlin's previously unseen pictures of Gemini G.E.L. (1979), Spiller House (1980), Indiana Avenue Houses (1981), Benson House (1984) and Norton House (1984) are accompanied by newly reproduced drawings of the architect and a series of texts that provide fresh critical perspectives.
