<nettime-ann> [pub] ORTLOS - Architecture of the NetWORKS |
. hi, The brand new book by ORTLOS architects is available now. After two years of hard work just on the book (plus the projects of course :) it is out of print and looks really great. In the book we try to pronounce a new approach to architecture and design praxis nowadays, by interdisciplinary working methods and with own developed tools for the creative networked collaboration. ORTLOS - Architecture of the NetWORKS By ORTLOS architects und David Carson, foreword by Thom Mayne. English. Hatje Cantz Publishers, Stuttgart 2005. ISBN 3-7757-1652-1 216 pp., color ills. throughout Ortlos is German for "placeless." It is also the appropriate designation for a virtual architectural office and discussion forum dealing with experimental architecture, urban planning, media theory, art installations, and product and interface design. Architects, web designers, media theorists, media artists, and information-technology specialists from around the world work together off-site, independent of a specific workplace. The conceptual and design process goes on in collaboration in a trans-local environment, created out of a network of virtually combined workplaces. ORTLOS architects characterize the "end of architecture" in a way that is comparable to American graphic-design legend David Carson's radical description of the "end of the print medium." This unique publication, the result of an unusual creative collaboration between ORTLOS architects and Carson, presents a dozen projects, dating from 2000 to 2003. http://www.hatjecantz.de/controller.php?cmd=detail&titzif=00001652 sample pages: http://www.ortlos.at/book/ --- best regards +--Ivan Redi------------------------------------------------------+ |/ \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \| | O | R | T | L | O | S ) ( a | r | c | h | i | t | e | c | t | s | |\_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/| | association for eXperimental architecture & interface design | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-| |o|f|f|i|c|e|@|o|r|t|l|o|s|.|c|o|m|||||w|w|w|.|o|r|t|l|o|s|.|c|o|m| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ _______________________________________________ nettime-ann mailing list nettime-ann@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-ann
