DESCRIPTION:
Five Stars thanks. "Five Stars" according to Yongsu Choung. Very interesting conversations.
Each volume in the series offers the reader texts that distil important larger issues and problems, and communicate architectural ideas; not only the ideas contained within each volume, but also the enduring power of written ideas more generally to challenge and change the way all architects think.. Each architect states his views about the terms of architecture, including its theories and relationship to the city and other forms of critical and cultural practice. Like many aspects of everyday life, contemporary architectural culture is dominated by an endless production and consumption of images, graphics and information. Rather than mirror this larger force, this series of small books seeks to deflect it by means of direct language, concise editing and beautiful, legible graphic design. Responses from the audience follow, filtered through a debate moderated by Brett Steele.Architecture Words is a series of texts and important essays on architecture written by architects, critics and scholars. Supercritical is based on an evening of conversation between Peter Eisenman and Rem Koolhaas at the AA in 2006
