Seller's Description:
Very Good with no dust jacket. 8831713663. With slight wear to edges of cover. Slight creasing to bottom corner of 4 pages.; White cover with black blindstamped lettering. The 13th International Architecture Exhibition: the art of organizing the space we share. The ambition of Common Ground is to reassert the existence of an architectural culture made up not only of singular talents but also of a rich continuity of diverse ideas united in a common history, in common aspirations, in common predicaments and ideals. If architecture is to be more than only the exceptional and privileged moment of our built world, a deeper engagement must then be found between talents and resources. Common Ground invites us to consider how these shared concerns and expectations may be better directed.; 24.5 x 32.5 x 2.2cm; 346 pages; "I am interested in the things that architects share in common, from the conditions of the practice of architecture to the influences, collaborations, histories and affinities that frame and contextualize our work. I want to take the opportunity of the Biennale to reinforce our understanding of architectural culture, and to emphasize the philosophical and practical continuities that define it. The title ‘Common Ground' also has a strong connotation of the ground between buildings, the spaces of the city. I want projects in the Biennale to look seriously at the meanings of the spaces made by buildings: the political, social, and public realms of which architecture is a part. I do not want to lose the subject of architecture in a morass of sociological, psychological or artistic speculation, but to try to develop the understanding of the distinct contribution that architecture can make in defining the common ground of the city." David Chipperfield in Arch Daily.
