In the wake of architectural giants from Frank Lloyd Wright to
Frank Gehry, contemporary Southern California architects began
exploring experimental new forms and creating a distinctive--and
heretofore unexamined--urban style. Considered as a group for the
first time, the story of their advancements, metamorphosis, and
digressions inspires innovation and demonstrates a thoughtful
relationship to new design perspectives and a changing urban
environment. This major new book, illustrated with an impressive
range of photographs and sketches, brings together perspectives
from prominent historians, curators, and professors. New
Sculpturalism in the Southern California Architecture compliments
an exhibition of the same name to be held at The Geffen
Contemporary at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles in May
2013, and is part of the Getty Research Institute series The Los
Angeles Architecture, 1940-1990. Four original essays will examine
Southern California experimental architecture from 1987 though
today. Christopher Mount will emphasize the distinctive way these
new works focus on form and take shape as their primary
consideration in their unique "New Sculpturalism." Nicholas Olsberg
will trace a history of Southern California architecture before
Gehry. Margaret Crawford will look at Los Angeles's particular
brand of urbanism in relation to contemporary architecture while
TBD will consider "Sci-Arc" (The Southern California Institute of
Architecture)'s method of teaching and how it has shaped Los
Angeles today. A section devoted to client interviews will allow
insight into process of creation, and the respected art world
figure Jeffrey Dietch will contribute a Foreword. Together with a
stunning collection of images, this book promises to present a
groundbreaking examination of new developments in an important
school of contemporary American architecture.
