{"product_id":"crib-sheets-sylvia-lavin-9781580931588","title":"Crib Sheets: Notes on Contemporary Architectural Conversation","description":"Architectural discourse today is characterized by an overlapping conversation between architects and academics, teachers and students, theorists and practitioners. Certain terms -- \"diagram, \" \"extreme form, \" \"autonomy, \" and \"the generic, \" among others -- capture the moment in architecture in definition and in operation. Crib Sheets is a guide -- a \"crib\" -- to twenty-two of those buzzwords, framing contemporary currents and trajectories. Each of the words is presented with a list of quotations, or sound bites, arranged in order of length and drawn from more than two hundred commentators, from Charles Baudelaire, Le Corbusier, and Buckminster Fuller to Frank Gehry, Paul Goldberger, and Rem Koolhaas. The structure attempts to evoke the present-day architectural conversation, capturing social milieus, current events, clusters of topics, and even background noise and eavesdropping.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sylvia Lavin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580931588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580931588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monacelli Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.92h x 8.80w x 0.57d","brand":"Sylvia Lavin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447565234431,"sku":"9781580931588","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff46cfaf-66cc-4a9c-8abd-be4322b98b04.jpg?v=1777233534","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crib-sheets-sylvia-lavin-9781580931588","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
