To Be Published November 22nd 2013 by Routledge – 256 pages
Description
Collage and Architecture is the first book to cover collage as a design technique for architecture, making it a valuable resource for using it in your work. Author Jennifer Shields uses the artworks and built projects of leading practitioners and artists, such as Le Corbusier, Gordon Matta-Clark, and Weiss Manfredi to show you what others have successfully done. The six case study projects from Mexico, Argentina, Sweden, Norway, Spain and the United States give you a global perspective of architecture as collage. Collage is an important instrument for analysis and design, and Shields's presentation of this diverse material draws on decades of relevance in art and architecture from which you may learn.
