Seller's Description:
VG. Size: 9.3 x 0.4 x 9.4 inches; Light scratch at front cover. Very nice and clean. Text free of highlighting and writing. Tightly bound. The Architectural Review at the University of Virginia. The purpose of Modulus 22 is to establish a critical approach to the making of architecture. To serve this purpose, the issue will address the relationship between craft and the art of building. It is essential to conceive of craft as a vital source for design rather than as a nostalgic or ephemeral end in itself. Craft is what mediates between the idea and the reality of building. Through it, man articulates the logic and cultural myths of construction-shelter, technology, permanence-and so articulates a place for himself in the world. The elaboration and necessity of material, assemblage, and structure are the stuff and test of architecture. Modulus 22 will examine how craft can inform and influence design. It will investigate contemporary possibilities and historical examples.
