商品簡介
In Event-Cities 3, Bernard Tschumi explores the complex and productive triangulation of architectural concept, context, and content. There is no architecture without a concept, an overriding idea that gives coherence and identity to a building. But there is also no architecture without context - historical, geographical, cultural - or content - what happens inside.
Through documentation of recent projects - including the New Acropolis Museum in Athens, a campus Athletic Center in Cincinnati, museums in Sao Paolo, New York, and Antwerp, concert halls in France, and a speculative urban project in Beijing - Tschumi examines different ways that concept, context, and content relate to each other in his work. Through examples, he demonstrates that the relationship of concept, context, and content may be one of indifference, reciprocity, or conflict. Above all, he suggests that the activity of architecture is less about the making of forms than the investigation and materialization of concepts.
