About this product

Product Information

Based on documentation originating in the environmental sciences, history of science, philosophy and art, Architecture of Nature explores the materiality and the effects of the forces at play in the history of the earth through the architect's modes of seeing and techniques of representation.This book presents the research work developed for the past eight years in the Advanced Research graduate studio "Architecture of Nature/ Nature of Architecture," created and directed by Diana Agrest at the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of the Cooper Union. Architecture of Nature departs from the traditional approach to nature as a referent for architecture and reframes it as its object of study. The complex processes of generation and transformations of extreme natural phenomena such as glaciers, volcanoes, permafrost, and clouds are explored through unique drawings and models, confronting a scale of space and time that expands and transcends the established boundaries of the architectural discipline.

Reviews
"...a vivid catalogue of material and physical processes that are as alluring and troubling as the oily rainbow when on a contaminated puddle. The speculative schemes--products of a nearly decade-long series of design studios taught by the book's lead author, architect and educator Diana Agrest, at Cooper Union's School of Architecture to 'deal with environmental issues'--present a dangerous kind of beauty." --Edward Eigen, Architectural Record, "The question is no longer that of composition but of "dealing with" a turbulent state of nature in a perpetual process of becoming and/or coming undone. One future possibility is that "us" (architects) will be cropped out of the picture and nature, by whatever definition, will return to reassert itself over our now long-estranged better selves. As an atlas of us now, this handsomely produced and lavishly illustrated book covers some intriguingly uncommon ground."
