Unprecedented Realism
Description:
For almost two decades the work of Rodolfo Machado and Jorge Silvetti has remained at the forefront of theoretical production. Their rigorously?detailed and exquisitely drawn projects characterize an attitude of?aesthetic realism towards materials, construction, function, and the?cultural role of architecture. Yet the conditions they address, and the?effects they produce, are unprecedented. Their projects synthesize?seemingly incompatible images, uses, and typologies.?
?Unprecedented Realism is not an illustration of theory. Rather,?what emerges is a constructive theory of architecture that understands the process of design itself as a distinct mode of knowledge --?as theoretical research that is still irreducibly architectural.?
?Unprecedented Realism presents both buildings and urban?infrastructures: Steps of Providence, RI; Entrance for Cranbrook,?Bloomfield Hills, Mich.; Carnegie-Mellon University Center, Pittsburgh;?Pershing Square, Los Angeles; and Times Square, New York City.?
?Along with the analytic text of K. Michael Hays, the volume includes?critical essays by Alan Colquhoun, George Baird, Farès el-Dahdah,?and Rodolphe el-Khoury (please see the Table of Contents).
