Another book with lots of twisted virtual amoebas (take a look at the cover), but this time thanksfuly with only built works. Vazio S/A’s Carlos Teixeira appears with “The Other, the Same”, installation built for the Sao Paulo 29th Art Biennale in 2010.
The Sky is the Limit – Applying Radical Architecture
Publishers’ release:
“Thanks to innovations in building materials, design technologies, and construction tools, a new generation of architects can finally realize structures that would have previously remained mere dreams. This emergence of a new vernacular of radically sculpted buildings, rooms, and installations melds rigorous usability with a playful and cutting edge aesthetic, facilitating highly functional yet undeniably exhilarating spaces.
“The Sky’s the Limit serves as a compelling exploration of these seemingly impossible, yet surprisingly practical structures and spaces. Unleashing the creative potential offered by the latest developments in design and construction, this book presents spectacularly formed buildings, façades, and interiors as well as inspiring temporary projects and urban interventions by both young and established talents. The projects featured here have all been built, are actively in use, and transport us to the outer limits of our spatial imagination.”
