Digital Architecture: Passages Through Hinterlands
The ‘Workhouse of the Infrastructural [Counter] Reformation‘ project was exhibited in 2009 during London Design week and has also now been published in this amazing book (no bias obviously) called Digital Architecture: Passages Through Hinterlands.
“‘Digital Architecture: Passages Through Hinterlands’ is a collection of the latest, provocative projects from the field of digitally-enabled architecture. Oscillating between the analog and the digital, from concept to realisation this is a book that maps process.
The book covers a spectrum of London’s leading graduates and young practices, featuring projects from the Architectural Association, Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), University of Westminster and Royal College of Art, and case studies and interviews with architects including Amanda Levete Architects, Plasma Studio, JDS Architects, sixteen* (makers), Horhizon, marcosandmarjan, Mette Ramsgard Thomsen, Philip Beesley, David Greene, Samantha Hardingham, Usman Haque and Neil Spiller”
The book was co-authored by Ruairi Glynn and Sara Shafiei and designed by Emily Chicken.
Some other work to watch out for in the book is Adam Nathaniel Furman project “The Church of Perpetual Experimentation”. To say we love it would be an understatement.
