Architecture Books – Week 32/2021
Last week on A Daily Dose of Architecture Books:
Things Fall Together: A Guide to the New Materials Revolution by Skylar Tibbits, published by Princeton University Press: “Tibbits' book is a compact, highly readable explanation of the work carried out at [MIT’s] Self-Assembly Lab and some of the other like-minded labs and institutions around the world.”
Planet City by Liam Young, published by Uro Publications: “Planet City speculates on all of humanity — 10 billion people, following from the scientific estimates for the year 2050 — living in one urban conglomeration: a massive retreat of humans from all over the planet to a single city, a migration that returns the rest of the planet to wilderness.”
See All This No. 22: A Journey on Paper, guest curated by Iwan Baan: “See All This No. 22 is valuable for collecting a wide variety of Baan's photographs — five continents worth, ranging from vernacular to contemporary, anonymous to starchitects, aerials to portraits.”
Casa BRUTUS No. 30: The Grand Tour with ANDO: “The ‘world tour’ that photographer Iwan Baan takes readers on in the summer 2021 issue of See All This reminded me of another, much older magazine in my library: the September 2002 issue of Casa BRUTUS that takes readers on a grand tour with Tadao Ando.”
