Description
The term 'un-volumetric architecture' expresses a new condition acquired in dealing with and designing open and public space from the nineties to today. This title intends to offer a theoretical reflection conducted through 100 construction projects worldwide that have faced the challenge of delineating and building a new identity for the continually changing category of contemporary open space.
The book is divided into ten sections:- surfaces, vertical, enclosures, design, shelters, environment, earthworks, figures, technique and events, which taken together encompass a whole world of open space design. Each section is introduced by a brief explanatory essay, and the projects are illustrated by a mixture of sleek photography, plans and CGIs. From a Baku rainwater collection system to a Reykjavik footbridge, from Wolfe Tone Park in Dublin to a Dutch service station, this is an eclectic and intriguing compendium that will be of use to planners and architects alike.
