It has been taken up worldwide by design professionals, researchers, educators and students alike. There exist, however, distinct and significant tendencies within this development that require further investigation. This issue of AD takes on this task by examining one of the most promising trajectories in this area, the rise of intensely local architectures. In his seminal essay of 1983, Kenneth Frampton redefined Critical Regionalism by calling for an intensely local approach to architectural design. Today, Frampton's legacy is regaining relevance for a specific body of work in practice and education focused on the construction of experimental structures. Could this ultimately provide the seeds for a compelling and alternative approach to sustainable design?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors include: Barbara Ascher, Peter Buchanan, Karl Otto Ellefsen, David Jolly Monge, Lisbet Harboe, David Leatherbar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditorial 05\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eHelen Castle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Guest-Editors 06\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel and Christian Hermansen Cordua\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction Relating Perceptions of Constructions, Experimental and Local 08\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel and Christian Hermansen Cordua\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Past and Present Trajectories of Experimental Architectures 16\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel and Christian Hermansen Cordua\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Building In and Out of Place 24\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDavid Leatherbarrow\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 The Bauhaus: Case Study Experiments in Education 30\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBarbara Elisabeth Ascher\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 The Open City and the e[ad] School of Architecture and Design 34\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eChristian Hermansen Cordua, David Jolly Monge and Michael Hensel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Incarnations of a Design-and-Build Programme: Rural Studio 40\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Architecture by Latitude and Locality: The Scarcity and Creativity Studio 48\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel and Christian Hermansen Cordua\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 In Search of Context: Working with the Force of Erasure: Koshirakura Landscape Workshop 58\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eShin Egashira\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Detoured Installations: The Policies and Architecture of the Norwegian National Tourist Routes Project 64\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eKarl Otto Ellefsen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Conviction Into Tectonics: The Work of Rintala Eggertsson 76\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eChristian Hermansen Cordua\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Integrating On-Site Education and Practice: TYIN tegnestue Architects 82\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLisbet Harboe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 Renzo Piano: Poet of Technology 88\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePeter Buchanan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12 The Practice of Making: Studio Mumbai 94\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13 The Builder’s Name: SHoP and the Ethics of Knowledge Transfer 102\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePhilip Nobel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14 Informed Non-Standard: En Route to Non-Standard Performative Architectures 110\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSøren S Sørensen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15 Auxiliary Architectures: Augmenting Existing Architectures with Performative Capacities 116\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eChapter 16 \u003c\/i\u003eNested Catenaries: A Developmental Route to Local Specificity 120\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDefne Sunguroğlu Hensel and Guillem Baraut Bover\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 17 Smart Living Architecture – Solar Prototypes: IAAC, Endesa Pavilion, Barcelona 128\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAreti Markopoulou and Rodrigo Rubio\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 18 Outlook: En Route to Intensely Local Architectures and Tectonics 132\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel and Christian Hermansen Cordua\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 19 Counterpoint Sustaining the Local: An Alternative Approach to Sustainable Design 136\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eTerri Peters\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors 142\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406908301655,"sku":"9781118700570","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/constructions-9781118700570","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
