How the work of contemporary architecture practices covers far more
than the design and construction of buildings – an important and
thought-provoking collection of original projects by unique
thinkers in the world of architecture and spatial design, such as
Diller + Scofidio, David Adjaye, and Ensamble Studio Architectural
practice today goes far beyond the design and construction of
buildings – the most exciting, forward-thinking architecture is
also found in digital landscapes, art, apps, films, installations,
and virtual reality. This remarkable book features projects –
surprising, beautiful, outrageous, and sometimes even frightening -
that break rules and shatter boundaries. In this timely book, the
work of award-winning architects, designers, artists,
photographers, writers, filmmakers, and researchers – all of whom
synthesize and reflect our spatial environments – comes together
for the first time. Radical Architecture of the Future's featured
architects include Diller Scofidio + Renfro, David Adjaye, SANAA,
Amateur Architecture Studio, and Ensamble Studio. Artists,
designers, filmmakers, and writers covered include Julie Mehretu,
Wolfgang Tillmans, and John Gerrard.
A multifaceted look at the work of award-winning American
industrial designer Stephen Burks Through essays, photo-essays, and
a conversation between Black designer Stephen Burks (b. 1969) and
the late cultural critic bell hooks, this book contextualizes
Burks's wide-ranging work while exploring design's influence on
politics, society, and culture. Burks's work is underpinned by his
belief in a pluralistic vision of design that is inclusive of all
cultural perspectives; the award-winning designer has been
commissioned by many of the world's leading design-driven brands to
develop collections that engage hand production as a strategy for
innovation. The book centers the industrial design and craft
collaborations within Burks's workshop-based design practice and
offers an opportunity to reflect on the potential of design at a
time when racial, social, and environmental justice remain in
jeopardy. Topics explored in the book include an overview of the
designer's practice, from the foundational architecture culture of
Chicago (Burks's birthplace) to his latest speculative project; the
workshop-based collaborative ethos of his studio, Stephen Burks Man
Made; and the politics of design. In the conversation between bell
hooks and Burks, hooks brings her critical eye to design as it
relates to the broader field of African American cultural
production. Distributed for the High Museum of Art Exhibition
Schedule: High Museum of Art, Atlanta (September 16, 2022-March 5,
2023)

Known for his ephemeral, interconnected installations and
monumental sculpture, Argentinian artist Adrian Villar Rojas (b.
1980) transformed The Met Roof into an immersive banquet scene for
the 2017 Roof Garden Commission. This book retraces the artist's
process by illustrating his conversations and discoveries at The
Met, which informed an installation that negotiates the museum as
both a social space and a space for the display of art. Villar
Rojas merges these institutional functions by framing art within
the context of a party where viewers and artworks can directly
interact. The publication, an integral part of Villar Rojas's
installation, covers themes as diverse as museology, history, and
the activation of art-offering a meditation on how museums as
artifacts represent and historicize art.
