William Henry Fox Talbot: Traces of Life

by Geoffrey Batchen, Larry J. Schaaf, Russel Roberts

Inside and out -- its cover is made of a non-rigid material -- Frames is a highly conceptual tribute to Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas and his work of the past five years, which includes major public spaces in Rome, Turin, Bethlehem, Palestine, Vienna, Geneva, Salzburg, and Paris. At the heart of this publication is the idea of understanding the work of an architect as the sum of different fragments, a new approach triggered by the advent of digital media and its impact on the world of architecture. But in the digital world we talk not of fragments but of frames -- hence the title of this book.
