{"product_id":"9781908967404","title":"Architecture and Beyond: Procter-RIHL","description":"\u003cp\u003eProcter-Rihl is a multidisciplinary studio that navigates between the scales of architecture, furniture, product design, exhibition and landscape. In a world dominated by over-specialisation, there are few architects that inhabit these multiple areas consistently through their career. The studio proposes a new approach in architecture, Trans-Local, which brings together the familiar and the extraordinary, the local and the global. Unlike typical contextual approaches to place, this method creates tension between the familiar and the new. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eArchitecture and Beyond\u003c\/i\u003e surveys the work of the practice, revealing a design method based on linguistics fusing spatial verbs to local archetypes. The projects shown do not follow a chronological order but are clustered by four key design operations: fold, perforate, float and weave. They are firestarters to spatial investigations that are regularly revisited in different scales, programmes or disciplines. The method embraces a diagrammatic purity that is inevitably reflected in the projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConditional design methods have been extensively explored by recent parametric and digital architecture delivering complex and extra-ordinary architecture as a non-contextual formal pursuit. What is new in Procter-Rihl’s design method is the fusion of an operative system to a symbolic matrix creating an architecture that responds to locality but also is challenging and provocative. This book highlights 42 projects richly illustrated with more than 258 photos and 100 drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artifice Books on Architecture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043848077552,"sku":"9781908967404","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781908967404_p0.jpg?v=1763622386","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781908967404","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
