"The Mythic Modern" offers an significant antidote to the
perception of the American abroad, chronicling a remarkable fifteen
years of design-build expeditions in extraordinary locales all over
the globe by an international team of architecture students focused
on exploring, not exploiting, the local cultures, mythologies, and
metaphors and leaving astonishing, affecting structures in their
wake. Led by Travis Price, FAIA, who, since his early days in the
Green movement has been sensitive to both the eco- and
ethnospheres, these excursions find in their designs a balance of
the tribal and the modern, the mythic and the practical, the place
and its spirit. This lavishly illustrated book takes a critical
look at the preservation of authenticity and character in a
contemporary design language, along the way telling wild tales of
the adventures of building these installations, with illuminating
anecdotes and quotes, followed by the back-story of their
conception, metaphors, planning, and design.
