This unique survey of buildings and interiors captures the multilayered experience that is engaged whenever we look out of - or into - a work of architecture.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImmaterial World examines the built environment as a reflection of the terrors and pleasures of exposure, information overload, and abundance of every sort. Twenty-five projects from around the world by such well-known architects as Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Morphosis, Christian de Portzamparc, Renzo Piano, and many others, are presented. These works range from complete transparency to bunkerlike opacity, depending upon who's doing the looking and who or what is being seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc Kristal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580933149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580933148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monacelli Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.26h x 8.38w x 0.82d","brand":"Marc Kristal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48449762656511,"sku":"9781580933148","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d7944c1e-cdb3-4c56-9ed3-2a817370219d.jpg?v=1777264799","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/immaterial-world-marc-kristal-9781580933148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
