Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully designed and illustrated monograph sets out Patrick Tighe’s innovative, diverse and wide-ranging collection of contemporary work towards the post-digital, showing the reader a hyper- detailed analytical investigation of digital forms and their practices. It sets out how his architecture has brought a return to the real in an attempt to rethink the language and practice of architecture. The book’s many inspiring and intricate drawings render clear the ideas that show the palpable energy and momentum that exists in this practice. In every instance, this firm embraces dichotomy, mining its potential to produce a more vital and consequential architecture. The book’s stunning imagery and nuanced narratives tell the story of Tighe’s architecture across 35 projects spanning across the globe, to help establish how his work draws from and builds upon existing polarities to find resolution, and how tensions yield a more dynamic architecture. The work is multiple and varied: from the small-scale residential to the urban scale, from the United States to Europe to China to North Africa, from high-end villas for royalty to art installations to social housing projects. This compelling collection of work follows the following five key themes: CRAFT (from the manufactured to the technological); MATERIAL (from the natural to the synthetic); EXPERIENCE (from the actual to the perceptual); GEOMETRY (from the simple to the complex); and METHOD (from the analog to the digital). This distinguished monograph also includes an incisive introduction by Patrick Tighe and is augmented by two essays by Thom Mayne and Stephen Phillips, who also provide clarity and insightful discourse on how Tighe’s work is continuously in transition and evolving, and how he’s rethinking and engaging in a discourse to defamiliarize the familiar.

This results in architecture that visually appears to be very different. Conforming to the aim of the ECC, the exhibition features architecture presented in a broad variety of artistic media.Since the more than 150 participating architects originate from very diverse cultures representing over 50 countries and are also of different age, the works are highlighted from unusual, very personal points of view.In addition the catalogue also shows the exhibition VENICE DESIGN 2016 which was hosted by the ECC in Palazzo Michiel.

Book excerpt: "Thinking and working at different scales is at the core of the architecture. But how much of that design decision must be made? At what time it is useful to change the scale? What can, what should be displayed in a scaled architectural drawings? And how it is possible that this drawing is clear, legible, yet an aesthetic desire? The architectural drawing is not least a means of communication. It contains information that is relevant to different addressees. Choosing the right scale determines whether the client or the craftsman understands what is meant. Given the numerous possibilities of CAD gets the goal, to transport their own ideas clearly and unambiguously, sometimes out of sight. Ansgar and Benedikt Schulz provide guidance and lead the architectural drawing exemplarily back to its original purpose: to provide excellent buildings" -- Publicaciones Arquitectura y Arte.

The many photographs of the artworks and encounters with the artists convey fascinating insights into their being, ideas and work.Seven art projects with established artists centralise their thoughts to a great extent. In addition, the book emphasises two Personal Structures exhibitions that were part of the Venice Biennale in 2011 and 2013.This publication also contains several interviews, artists' statements, and symposium contributions that discuss the theme of this book in detail.Personal Structures was initiated in 2002 by the Dutch artist Rene Rietmeyer. His observation that even in the most distant places artists are occupied with time, space and existence, led to the idea of bringing several of these artists together in publications, symposia and exhibitions.English and Japanese text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume surveys houses that defy expectations and explode the notion of what constitutes "experimental" in residential architecture. The buildings selected for this book have little in common--they come from different cities across the globe, they represent the work of different architect often with vastly different outlooks, and they break the mold of what the notion of a "house" is. The only thing that unifes the twenty-nine projects depicted in this book is that each radically defies convention in some new way."--Book jacket.
