ARCHITECTURE,NOTARCHITECTURE
The only comprehensive monograph on the cross-disciplinary practice, featuring over 100 built and ephemeral works.
From the renowned High Line in New York City to the upcoming V&A East Storehouse in London to some of their earliest projects like the Blur building designed for the 2002 Swiss Expo, DS+R explores alternative strategies in space-making that engage and surprise on a global scale.
Since its founding in 1981, New York-based studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) has designed some of the world's most revered civic spaces and cultural institutions. Their practice covers architecture, urban design, installation art, performance, digital media, and print.
Designed by the studio as a pair of structurally conjoined volumes, Architecture, Not Architecture invites readers to bridge different modes of production and reconsider the limits of architecture. The unique binding allows each volume to be read individually or in parallel by unfolding the book at the spine. Special crossover layouts link the two volumes with shared "obsessions," or themes.
The monograph features layouts by design consultancy 2x4 and includes new dialogues with visionaries from other creative fields, including artist Edmund de Waal, curator Paola Antonelli, actor Alan Cumming, and choreographer William Forsythe.
