M³ - Morphosis Model Monograph (Hardcover)

An exhaustive and resounding masterpiece of architectural publishing, this volume, Rizzoli s seventh on Morphosis and its founder, architect Thom Mayne, features the work of the award-winning interdisciplinary architectural and design practice through a careful and comprehensive look at the models upon which all the rest has been built: a 40-plus-year office retrospective, and a love letter to models, their process and concepts, and those that made them. As the name entails, the monograph will include only models, no drawings or explanative building photography, in order to bolster the power and prominence of models in the design process, as presentation material, and within conceptual scope of Morphosis. In addition to models never-before documented or published, the book will also include outside commentary from architecture historians and critics, such as Kenneth Frampton, practicing architects, such as Rem Koolhass, and ex-Morphosis model builders that will explain the power of models in the design practice, unite critical themes embedded in a project s models, and expand the theoretical discourse surrounding Morphosis s work over the past forty years. In essence, the model is not only the concept of the book but rather a vehicle for discussing the broader aims of architecture and exhibiting the conceptual DNA of the office.
