Excellent review of over 40 architectural works,
By
This review is from: Agrest and Gandelsonas Works (Paperback)
Over 40 works are substantially documented with plans, renderings, and photographs, as well as detailed color sketches. This 1st edition volume also includes an introduction by architectural historian and critic Anthony Vidler. The book encompasses urban projects - competition entries for Roosevelt Island, La Villette, La Defense; urban buildings - apartment buildings for Buenos Aires, a tower in Manhattan's Upper East Side; residential designs - Les Echelles, Duplication, House on Sag Pond; interiors; and theoretical projects. The architecture of Agrest and Gandelsonas has been consistently characterized by an intertwining of practice and theory. In conjunction with their critical texts they have built a provocative and rich body of work that ranks as one of the most thoughtful in contemporary architecture. Their projects resonate with a sense of poetry and play, which is echoed in their built work by their sensuous use of materials and attention to detail.
