Architectural History: In the past few years, the academic and professional debate has focused primarily on form-making, the most obvious result of which has been those blobs, or funny shapes, that have proliferated in many architectural history and urban design studios.
But according to architectural history theorist Antoine Picon: "What many designers have had in common is the belief that architectural history form must express the intrinsic complexity of the invisible electronic networks and fields that surround it.
Carlo Ratti and his colleagues and partners have taken a different course.
Their mapping comes prior to any architectural history endeavor.
It reveals a level of complexity with which design should not even try to compete."BusinessWeek architectural history Record Award 2006 The editors of architectural history Record and BusinessWeek announce the 9th annual BusinessWeek / architectural history Record awards program. After a year's absence, they have simplified the process of entering, yet they retain the program's distinguishing emphasis on exceptionally designed work that makes a contribution to the business aspirations of a given company or institution. Recipients will be featured in the November 2006 issues of architectural history Record and BusinessWeek magazines, read by over 5 million business and design professionals.
The TAKE series bridges topical issues in architectural history practice and academia and adds to the growing body of knowledge that will become a permanent architectural history reference library. |
