DESCRIPTION:
Four Stars yushiyun quite powerful ideas. A Customer said The freedom of Architecture!. A book where architecure doesn't follow a school of thought. Rather the liberty of artistic expression. The kind of work that must be seen before starting an architectural magazine.. "a cornerstone book on theory and architectural research" according to A Customer. a long waited and very well conceived series of reflections on architecture. A must to have in every creative library.
Each issue was written, illustrated, and designed by a single architect, which gives each its unique character. The Pamphlet Architecture series was founded in 1978 by architects Steven Holl and William Stout as a venue for publishing the thoughts and works of a younger generation of architects. The series, which received an American Institute of Architects award, continues to influence new generations of architects as it disseminates new and innovative ideas on architecture and presents the work of the luminaries of tomorrow.. This graphically stunning and theoretically stimulating collection includes the early works of many of today's best-known architects, including Steven Holl, Lars Lerup, Mark Mack,
Based in New York and San Francisco, masterminded by a young Steven Holl and by bookshop innovator William Stout, the Pamphlets presented notional schemes by a then 30-something clique of intellectual practitioners, men-and one women-who retained a critical faith in certain tenets of Modernism. In the late 1970s and early '80s, Pamphlet Architecture offered a fresh, samizdat-like alternative to homogenized architectural publishing. Here the first 10 Pamphlets are reprinted as a celebratory, 20th anniversary tome. -- Architectural Review
