Description

This collection, presented to Juhani Pallasmaa for his 70th birthday, features 23 essays and poems from a range of architects, curators, academics, historians, philosophers and students, representing the breadth and diversity of his friendships and his presence in the dynamic of architectural culture.

However, a parallel intention of Archipelago is to open further doors and windows into architecture's past, present and future through the observations and declarations of the assembled contributors. Each of the essays can be read as singular efforts in research or meditation, immediately accessible to anyone concerned with the essential nature of the discipline and the ethical practice of the profession.

Includes contributions from Billie Tsien, Karsten Harries, Nina Stritzler-Levine, Colin St. John Wilson, Cynthia Weese, Daniel Libeskind, Peter Zumthor and more.
