Experiments in Architecture

This book celebrates the skill and ingenuity employed in creating the built environment, particularly when the parties involved seek to explore and build upon differences in understanding and a shared desire to speculate. A collection of illustrated stories, conversations and fabrications. Told by architects, artists, engineers, makers, clients, developers, researchers and educationalists whose projects are exemplary in their field, these stories describe how sharing expertise outside conventional disciplinary boundaries can lead to better work and extraordinary discoveries. The best and most enjoyable stories are often tall stories where much is owed to conjecture and imagination. In this spirit, 'Experiments in Architecture' uses anecdotal evidence gleaned from real experiences to set out a list of recommendations that seek to inspire new codes of good practice in the industry. The book includes contributions from, amongst others, architects Jack Pringle and Cedric Price, artists Bruce McLean and Richard Wentworth, property developer Roger Zogolovich, architect and teacher David Greene, engineer and fabricator Ben Morris and architectural researchers Digital Putty.Hardingham, Samantha is the author of 'Experiments in Architecture' with ISBN 9781902854212 and ISBN 1902854217.
