Move

by Ben van Berkel, Caroline Bos, UN Studio

The innovative architecture office Van Berkel & Bos presents a major new collection of its projects, statements, research, and visual inspiration. 'Move' redefines typologies of organisational structures on all levels and presents a manifesto against Modernism that is still based on techniques of fragmentation and collage. The three volumes are presented in a box that adds to the high quality of this encyclopaedia of architectural ideas. Each book combines spectacular architectural presentations and texts into a specific 'Imagination', 'Techniques','Effects'

Reviews

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

These books definitely deserve a reread and a more comprehensive review. I remember this being the story of a computationally rich combination of architectural design and urban planning, structure flowing immediately from the programmatic needs of a living city, cybernetically assembled to bring the built-environment ready-to-hand. It's a youthful and energetic book, perhaps more appropriate to the nineties, but always a great book for the optimistic college undergraduate, such as I was.
