Description

'A New Nature' is a book about architecture as the organization of material. It unfolds an idea of working with architecture and urbanity as conditions rather than form. By experiencing cities and cultural landscapes as states of change, the author investigates their degree of organisation between order and chaos: "When we design and build buildings, naturally, we need to enter into an already existing context. Even so, many houses simply stand alone side by side, rather than identifying themselves with and becoming a part of the urbanity that connects and creates cohesion in the culturally created – the new nature." The first part of the book develops an architectural language that connects material and meaning through nine states between liquid and solid, in order to achieve a qualified and sustainable approach to understanding the modern city in its continuous transformation. The book's second part documents a number of project proposals and realised works that illustrate the usage of this architectural idiom. Including precise drawings and models, 'A New Nature' introduces a new kind of spatial investigation. AUTHOR: Anders Abraham (born 1964) is a Copenhagen-based architect and Professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture. 450 images
