Part manifesto and part monograph, Radical Practice reflects the
ethos and endeavors of Marlon Blackwell, a charismatic architect in
the prime of his career, producing extraordinary architecture for
everyday places from his studio in the Ozarks of Arkansas.
Celebrating thirty years of practice in 2022, Marlon Blackwell is
among the most admired architects in the country. But he isn't
known for sky-high towers or houses for the one-percent crowd.
Blackwell prioritizes the common good of shared spaces over the
private luxuries of domestic design. Be it a pediatric clinic in
Arkansas, a school in Texas, a model house in post-Katrina
Mississippi, or a public park in Tennessee, his architecture is
characterized by bold forms that both echo and elevate the local
context-often through an economy of means. Each of the fourteen
buildings profiled in this book is paired with an unvarnished
photographic journey through roadside influences and an essay by a
leading designer, planner, or artist. These pairings capture the
radically conventional principles and practices, the time-honored
methods and materials, that Blackwell mines to create works that
are far from commonplace.
