Anderson Anderson, Architecture and Construction
Brothers Mark and Peter Anderson have been building things together since their boyhood days in Tacoma, Washington. Their work as architects, carpenters, builders, and general contractors encompasses the design and construction of residential, commercial, and public art projects. Anderson Anderson is noted for its highly customized work and its prefabricated systems for large-scale production. Informed by their experiences as carpenters and influenced by place and landscape—mud, clouds, and rain, in the case of the Pacific Northwest—the work of Mark and Peter Anderson highlights experimentation and adventure. Anderson Anderson: Architecture and Construction delves into the process of con...
Architectures of Life and Death
Driven by the Foucauldian attitude of subsuming architectural history into a genealogy of techne, Architectures of Life and Death advances a transdisciplinary approach rethinking subjectivity and exploring the political ramifications of these processes for the discipline of architecture and beyond. In contrast to mainstream approaches, architecture will not be seen as representative of culture, but as the mechanism of culture, the ‘collective equipment’ that rests on the reciprocal determination of social habits and technological habitats. In this sense, the idea that we shape our environments, therefore they shape us, is not to be taken as a metaphor. The animate has always been utterly dependent on the inanimate. A livable habitat is one which the inhabitant actively co-evolves with and which does not constitute a ready-made condition to which the inhabitant would simply have to passively adapt.

Zero Piranesi
ZERO PIRANESI Giovanni Battista Piranesi's engravings, Campo Marzio dell'antica Roma of 1762, have a peculiar position within the discipline of ar- chitecture. With their dissemination, the folio collection of six etch- ings have till this day nurtured architects' speculations on the city. Since the Enlightenment, they - and in particular the Campo Marzio plan - have fuelled research, discussions and visions for the future of architecture. These engravings are also some of the most beau- tiful documents in Western architectural history. Zero Piranesi, is guest-edited by Peter Trummer. It celebrates Piranesi's vision of ancient Rome and the disciplinary search of the endless realities within ...
