Book

Architecture of nature : nature of architecture

Agrest, Diana, author, McPhee, John Angus, author, Burnett, D. Graham, contributor

نظرة عامة

Based on documentation originating in the environmental sciences, history of science, philosophy and art, this book explores the materiality and the effects of the forces at play in the history of the earth through the architect's modes of seeing and techniques of representation. It presents research work developed for the past eight years in the Advanced Research graduate studio 'Architecture of Nature/ Nature of Architecture', created and directed by Diana Agrest at the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of the Cooper Union. 'Architecture of Nature' departs from the traditional approach to nature as a referent for architecture and reframes it as its object of study. The complex processes of generation and transformations of extreme natural phenomena such as glaciers, volcanoes, permafrost, and clouds are explored through unique drawings and models, confronting a scale of space and time that expands and transcends the established boundaries of the architectural discipline.
