My second trip to New York City was timed to, of all things, the last ANY conference, titled Anything, which took place in June 2000 at the Guggenheim museum. One of the highlights of the two days of dense theory and architectural camaraderie was Jeffrey Kipnis's talk, titled "In the Mood for Architecture" in the later book documenting the conference. In it he spoke about, among other things, Hitchcock's Rear Window, a favorite film for architects but one that took on many more shades of meaning in Kipnis's hands. Remembering that talk prompted me to buy this book when I came across it, a book full of the usual suspects: Herzog & de Meuron, Rem Koolhaas, Steven Holl, even Jacques Derrida. The fairly long essays point to the need for probing the work of architects and certain issues in depth, something missing in blogs and many publications today. That Kipnis is (at times) accessible to more than those on the ANY stage is a commendable trait. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Essays on contemporary architecture that are less about making critical judgments than about explication, exegesis, and provocation. Jeffrey Kipnis's writing, thinking, and teaching casts architecture as both an intellectual discourse and a lived, affective experience. His essays on contemporary architects are less about making critical judgments than about explication, exegesis, and provocation. In these eleven essays, written between 1990 and 2008, he considers projects, concepts, and buildings by some of the most recognized architects working today, with special attention to the productions of affect. He explores "intuition" in the work of Morphosis, "exhilaration" in Coop Himmelb(l)au, "freedom" in the work of Rem Koolhaas and OMA, "magic" in Steven Holl's buildings, and "anxiety" in Rafael Moneo's writing about contemporary architecture. Kipnis's deft integration of art, critical theory, philosophy, pop culture, classical music, and science--what the volume's editor Alexander Maymind calls "ancillary material"--into a rigorous architectural theory and criticism makes A Question of Qualities an exemplar of a new way to write about architecture. It is also a distinct pleasure to read. Kipnis transcends the fractious intellectual climate in architecture, stepping outside the boundaries mandated by the vast specialized criteria that the discipline now claims to address. The essays in this volume demonstrate a style of writing that is not so much about architecture as it is an affect of architecture itself. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
