Book Synopsis Pamphlet Architecture 21: Situation Normal by : Paul Lewis

Download or read book Pamphlet Architecture 21: Situation Normal written by Paul Lewis and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 1998-12 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, the latest addition to the award-winning Pamphlet Architecture series, the authors examine common architectural forms (chairs, doors, and walls) and programs (a cinema, a health club, a skyscraper) in order to dissect and reconfigure them. In the process they create ten new projects that draw their power from an oscillation between the recognizable and the surreal. Cleverly undermining the conventions and norms of contemporary architectural design, the authors pose a direct challenge to the seemingly endless search for new styles, arguing instead that the greatest potential for architecture in the twenty-first century rests on an imaginative examination of what we take for granted. Designed by authors, Situation Normal... weaves together text, photographs, and drawings. An introductory essay establishes the theoretical and historical position of the book.
