This issue of \u003ci\u003eAD\u003c\/i\u003e aims to reach peripheral disciplines in order to support an architecture that no longer operates as a standalone field of study, and is rather one that responds to broader, urgent and pluralistic cultural shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the existing contemporary landscape of visually oriented fields of study, casual compositions and other formless expressions have begun to re-emerge, particularly in the disciplines of art, architecture and popular image culture. In architecture, with the rise of the digital, the last two decades have witnessed a field in pursuit of novel styles through the use of the latest digital tools. More recently, however, over the last five years or so, the field has experienced a more novelty-apathetic attitude, permeated with project proposals that resist the urge to offer immediate solutions in favour of enmeshment with a contemporary condition characterised by duress, destruction, uncertainty and other formless becomings. This \u003ci\u003eAD\u003c\/i\u003e explores this new, emerging world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Suzanne Cotter, Andrew Culp, Jack Halberstam, Jeff Halstead, Carolyn Kane, Ersela Kripa and Stephen Mueller, Carl Lostritto, Thom Mayne, V Mitch McEwen and Kristina Kay Robinson, Anna Neimark, Jennifer Newsom and Tom Carruthers, Dorina Pllumbi, Faysal Tabbara, and Dalena Tran.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eFeatured architects: \u003c\/b\u003e AGENCY, Architecture and Other Things, Atelier Office, Dream the Combine, First Office, MIRACLES, and Morphosis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Viola Ago\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1119748798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781119748793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 8.30w x 0.30d","brand":"Viola Ago","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052720877823,"sku":"9781119748793","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_afa82cf4-fd83-4dac-9c3a-b1afc891da1c.jpg?v=1685020366","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alt-form-viola-ago-9781119748793","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
