Out There: New Architecture Across America – hinnat ja saatavuus

Out There is a critical survey of 50 architectural firms working across America's regional cities and small towns. These practitioners operate at every scale and with all buiding types, weaving a rich architectural tapestry that reflects the breadth and diversity of the American landscape. The current perception is that American architecture is driven largely by the traditional centres of power on the East and West coasts. Out There challenges that notion, spotlighting practices that are deeply grounded in place and community. What unites the firms featured in this volume is a commitment to architecture's civic, social and environmental responsibilities. Many prioritize sustainability, adaptive reuse, housing and social justice. Even in an increasingly homogenized, hyper-connected world these architects remain locally focused. The book begins with a foreword by Marlon Blackwell, recipient of the 2020 Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects, and an introduction by Robert Ivy, former editor-in-chief of Architectural Record. Essays by Cathleen McGuigan, also a former editor-in-chief of Architectural Record, and Peter MacKeith, Professor of Architecture at the University of Arkansas, consider, respectively, key figures in the rise of architectural regionalism in the United States over recent decades, and contemporary regional architecture in other countries. The book's main section profiles 50 US practices including Aidlin Darling Design (California), Modus Studio (Arkansas), Rand Elliott Architects (Oklahoma), Renée del Gaudio Architecture (Colorado) and Salmela Architect (Minnesota). The texts explore the ethos and design philosophy of each firm, as well as about 170 selected projects from the last ten years. Out There presents a varied, vibrant picture of archiectual excellence anchored in local culture, geography and community needs across the US. It affirms the timeless truth: where we work profoundly influences what we create. Ultimately, architecture remains inseparable from place. Out There is the definitive and comprehensive showcase of regionalist practice in contempoary American architecture. It features 170 projects from 50 practices, all fully illustrated with colour photography, plans and drawings. It is written by a team of leading experts in contemporary American architecture. It is a vital resource for architects, design professionals, academics and anyone interested in the future of architecture across America. Out There is the essential cultural atlast of new American design.
