Description
Visually, many contemporary buildings either reflect their systems of production or earlier styles and motifs. In this book David Leatherbarrow and Mohsen Mostafavi explore ways that design can take advantage of production methods where architecture is neither independent of, nor dominated by technology.
Leatherbarrow and Mostafavi examine the theoretical and practical isolation of the building surface as the subject of architectural design, using both contemporary buildings and those of the recent past as examples in tracing the handling of surfaces.
"This should be required reading for any architect."
Jeremy Melvin, The Architect's Journal
