Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. Perspecta 40Monster The Yale Architectural Journal edited by MarcGuberman, Jacob Reidel, and Frida RosenbergContemporary architecture is in many waysa monstrous thing. It is bigger, more broadly defined, increasingly complicated, more costly, and stylistically and formally heterogeneous--if not downrightunhinged. Not only is the scale of the built environment expanding, but so is theterritory of the architectural profession itself. A perfect storm of history, technology, economics, politics, and pedagogy has generated a moment in time inwhich anything seems possible. The results have been at times strange and evenfrightening. Long ago, the birth of an abnormal creature was interpreted as a signof looming trouble. These monstra--from the Latin monere, 'to warn' andmonstrare, 'to show'--were viewed with both fear and fascination. Thisfortieth issue of Perspecta--the oldest and most distinguished student-editedarchitectural journal in America--examines architecture past and present through thelens of the monster. The contributors--a diverse group of scholars, practitioners, and artists--embrace the multitude of meanings this term carries in an attempt tounderstand how architecture arrived at its present situation and where it may begoing. Perspecta 40 represents in itself a kind of monster--a hybrid, jumbled, conflicting amalgamation of work and ideas that looks at the past in new ways andtells of things to come. Contributors includePhilip Bernstein, Mario Carpo, ArindamDutta, Ed Eigen, Mark Gage, Gensler, Marcelyn Gow and Ulrika Karlsson (servo), Catherine Ingraham, Mark Jarzombek, Terry Kirk, Leon Krier, Greg Lynn, John May, John McMorrough, Colin Montgomery, Guy Nordenson, Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen, EmmanuelPetit, Kevin Roche, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto (Atelier Bow-Wow) and Ryuji Fujimura, Michael Weinstock, Claire ZimmermanMarc Guberman is a graduate of the Yale School ofArchitecture and the Yale School of Management and is a practicing architect. JacobReidel is a graduate of the Yale School of Architecture and is a practicingarchitect. Frida Rosenberg is a graduate of the Yale School of Architecture and is apracticing architect, currently teaching at Lund University in Sweden. A monster is in our midst, and its name is Architecture. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. Book has remainder mark on text edge.
