core.recommendations: Autogenic Structures
We are pleased to announce the long awaited release of Evan Douglis‘ new book “Autogenic Structures” . With work spanning the last 10 years from institutions such as Columbia University, Pratt Institute, Sci-Arc & University of Buffalo, it gives us a rare glimpse into a canon of the architectural educational system. I can confidently say that with the seeds that were planted in these studios, we are now only beginning to see the effects in the world at large. Purchase it to see why FRAME Magazine has given him the title of “The Mythos Maker”
“Autogenic Structures” offers an alternative vision for the future of architecture, a timely and invaluable contribution to the debate concerning emergent surfaces and the next generation of building membranes in this era of extreme computational control. An esteemed group of architects and educators discuss a range of cultural perspectives surrounding Evan Douglis’ innovative pedagogical research.Topics considered include:the future relationship between structure and ornament; the value of mass customization for the next generation of modular building components; and, the role of smart materials in creating a sustainable universe. Critical essays are combined with cutting-edge work to form an inspiring manual of varied digital and analog techniques. Highly illustrated with over 300 photographs, illustrations, and drawings, “Autogenic Structures” is for anyone curious to learn about a visionary approach to the development of architecture.
Graphic design by Willi Kunz & essays from the likes of Ed Keller, Brad Horn, Michael Bell, David Benjamin & Chris Perry.
