دانلود کتاب Diller Scofidio + Renfro: Architecture After Images

In "Diller Scofidio + Renfro: Architecture after Images," Edward Dimendberg offers the first comprehensive treatment of one of the most imaginative contemporary design studios. aSince founding their practice in 1979, Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio have integrated architecture, urban design, media art, and the performing arts in a dazzling array of projects, which include performances, art installations, and books, in addition to buildings and public spaces. aAt the center of this work is a fascination with vision and a commitment to questioning the certainty and security long associated with architecture.
Dimendberg provides an extensive overview of these concerns and the history of the studio, revealing how principals Elizabeth Diller, Ricardo Scofidio, and Charles Renfro continue to expand the definition of architecture, question the nature of space and vision in contemporary culture, and produce work that is endlessly surprising and rewarding, from New YorkOCOs High Line to "Blur," an artificial cloud, and "Facsimile," a video screen that moves around a building facade. aDimendberg also explores the relation of work by DS+R to that by earlier modernists such as Marcel Duchamp and John Hejduk. aHe reveals how the fascination of the architects with evolving forms of media, technology, and building materials has produced works that unsettle distinctions among architecture and other media.aBased on interviews with the architects, their clients, and collaborators as well as unprecedented access to unpublished documents, sketchbook entries, and archival records, "Diller Scofidio + Renfro" is the most thorough consideration of DS+R in any language.aIllustrated with many previously unpublished renderings in addition to photos from significant contemporary photographers, this book is an essential study of one of the most significant and creative architecture and design studios working today.
