{"product_id":"9781568988665","title":"Expanded Practice: Howeler + Yoon Architecture\/My Studio","description":"\u003cp\u003eRising stars in Boston's design scene, architects Eric Hõweler and J. Meejin Yoon have in a single decade developed a reputation for radical experiments in architectural form. Their design methodology—what they call an \"expanded practice\"—combines intense research with interdisciplinary experimentation. Hõwelerand Yoon's sensational, competition-winning lighting entry for the 2004 Athens Olympics exemplifies their fearless approach: without any prior experience in public space interactive design, the firm constructed a luminous, interactive soundscape installation at the base of the Acropolis. White Noise White Light featured a field of semiflexible fiber-optic strands that emitted white light and white noise in response to the movement of pedestrians. The project, an enormous success, enchanted a multitude of visitors who moved amidst the cilia of light. \u003ci\u003eExpanded Practice\u003c\/i\u003e presents twenty-nine recent projects by this young firm encompassing a broad range of scales and media. The projects, divided into distinct but often overlapping research themes, include a museum courtyard program inspired by the Voronoi cell-packing algorithm (PS1 Loop); an outdoor light installation featuring hovering cones that capture and interact with solar energy, rainwater, and sound (Hover); a garment designed to turn inside out as it unravels (Mõbius Dress); and a landscape design that weaves technology and texture into an integrated and interactive landscape (Tripanel). Packed with drawings, diagrams, and photographs of each project's design process, \u003ci\u003eExpanded Practice\u003c\/i\u003e provides an inspirational look into one of the most exciting young firms working in architecture today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton Architectural Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030734455024,"sku":"9781568988665","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781568988665_p0.jpg?v=1763767835","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781568988665","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
