商品簡介
California-based Manaugh publishes widely on art and architecture, and lectures at museums and design schools around the world. In 2004 he launched the website BLDGBLOG (bldgblog.blogspot.com) which explores the future of architecture, landscape, and the built environment. He continues that journey in book format, discussing a wide range of topics that fascinate him, particularly in the context of architecture. An opening chapter on architectural conjecture/urban speculation is followed by sections on underground structures; weather and climate change; the acoustic side of space, both human and naturally occurring; and the "futures"--both temporal and social value--of landscapes. Also included is a list of online, film, and print resources for further reading and viewing. Illustrated with b&w and color photographs, diagrams, and drawings, this adventurous text would be accessible to curious, motivated general readers. No subject index.
