New writing
August 23, 2011 in Uncategorized
I’ve added three essays to the side-bar at right. In all three I’m trying to shift contemporary discussions of landscape away from statistical (data-driven) ideas and more towards historical ones.
1. An afterword that appears in the new book Landform Building edited by Stan Allen and Marc McQuade
2. Another afterword for the latest issue of Spanish Architecture Journal, Quaderns — on the topic of infrastructure.
3. And the “middleword” (is that a term?) for Pamphlet Architecture 30, “Coupling” written and developed by Lateral Office.
