{"product_id":"contrast-and-cohesion-g8a-architects-9783038601449","title":"Contrast and Cohesion: Architecture and Urban Planning","description":"Founded in 2007, G8A Architects gained rapid renown for its projects in Switzerland. Drawn to new opportunities in Southeast Asia, founding partners Manuel Der Hagopian and Grégoire Du Pasquier soon expanded the firm's operations to include an office in Vietnam's capital city, Hanoi, where they now attract a range of commissions in a completely new environment. In 2010, upon winning the commission for a major public housing development in Singapore that set them amongst a new generation of designers for residential projects in the region, they also opened a branch in the booming city-state. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The first book to document G8A Architects' achievements to date, \u003ci\u003eContrast and Cohesion\u003c\/i\u003e reflects the firm's work in these starkly contrasting parts of the world. Featuring twenty-seven of the firm's projects through drawings, photographs, plans, and descriptive texts, the book also brings together essays that expand on the different concerns and challenges that accompany the creation of architecture in Central Europe and Southeast Asia. Climatically, culturally, and economically, the rapidly growing cities of Southeast Asia are a world away, but Der Hagopian and Du Pasquier pursue a strategy of cohesion, which seeks to resolve the contrasts between East and West with resulting benefits for both. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e G8a Architects\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3038601446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038601449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Park Publishing (WI)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.00w x 0.90d","brand":"G8a Architects","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448032997631,"sku":"9783038601449","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17104ec9-de9c-4078-a8bc-889aa639adfd.jpg?v=1777236441","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contrast-and-cohesion-g8a-architects-9783038601449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
