Published today! ARCHITECTURES OF THE TECHNOPOLIS: ARCHIGRAM AND THE BRITISH HIGH TECH by Annette Fierro Comparing the work of Archigram and High-Tech architects thematically, this book explores the historical and cultural context of London to reveal their influences and interconnections and why two such radical groups emerged from a seemingly conservative city. This book examines the relationships between the work of Archigram and that of the British High-Tech architects, groups that were based in London and developing in the 1960s and 70s.

In exactly one month from now, my book Nelson Goodman and Modern Architecture: A Belated Encounter, will be published by Routledge. In it, I investigate overlooked aspects of both 20th-century architecture and philosophy, and I am particularly honored that it comes with endorsements from heavyweights in architecture, art history, and philosophy, who have kindly read my work. I look forward very much to talking about the book at events in Copenhagen and Aarhus, and beyond, in the months to come. #nelsongoodman #architecturaltheory #architecturalhistory #modernarchitecture #modernism

The North Face The significance of the prime number 17 in architecture is likely to be subjective and dependent on the individual architect's motivations, cultural context, or design philosophy. Whether through symbolism, historical resonance, mathematical harmony, or personal preference, the incorporation of the number 17 in architectural design can add layers of meaning and complexity to the built environment. #parthenon #djed #architecture #prime #berlinwall

Talking about cities, starting with an essential building block --the neighborhood! It seems that increasingly we are devoting more and more attention to studying cities. I am particularly heartened that old ways of talking about planning, typologies, and separate disciplines or "verticals" are giving way to broader, Intergrated views of the city, and delving deeper into their unique characteristics. Thus, this book from the perspective of neighborhoods. I am happy to be among the 35 authors of the publication and to have reflected, with colleagues from near and far, about the role, opportunities and characteristics of neighborhoods to contribute to the livability of cities.
Our book 'Mission Neighbourhood – (Re)forming Communities' is here! With 35 contributions from acclaimed architects, academics, civil servants and developers from the Nordics and beyond, the publication, explores the urgent urban issues of our time – from social infrastructure, nature and biodiversity, to mobility and urban governance – in a neighbourhood perspective. Editors: Christian Pagh and Thomas Cook Design: Snøhetta Publishers: Danish Architectural Press Oslo launch November 28, 18:30, at Byens Tak. Grab a copy of the book there or follow the link in this post to pre-order the book now. Thank you to all the contributors (a list that is too long to include here, we tried!). https://lnkd.in/dSRFJj8c

“In her introduction, Goffi argues that architectural media’s capacity for translation is extended beyond design and construction through their literal translation from one place to another.” In this online review, assistant professor of architecture Paul Holmquist shares his thoughts on Federica Goffi’s “The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models: From Translating to Archiving, Collecting and Displaying.” Visit https://bit.ly/3J8TenE to read the full review.

“Expressed form that becomes poetry”. This is how Carlo Scarpa summarised his intervention in the cemetery of San Vito. Architectural elements in this project are linked together by precise symbolic references, which range from the spirituality of the Eastern world to the rationality of the Western world. #architecture #architecturemasters #carloscarpaarchitecture #studyarchitecture #architectinspiration #florencedesignschool #starflorencedesignschool #architectureschool #interiordesignschool

As we navigate the challenges of land scarcity and burgeoning population densities, the concept of vertical place-making and vertical community-making becomes not just an option but a necessity. This requires a blend of safety and innovation. I wrote an opinion piece for Parametric Architecture on this topic with examples of Asian metropolises.
