{"product_id":"portugal-lessons-harry-gugger-9783038601098","title":"Portugal Lessons: Environmental Objects. Teaching and Research in Architecture","description":"Architecture is often seen as confronting the natural environment, its buildings and other objects inscribing boundaries and thereby expressing an internalized point of view. But there is another way of seeing and practicing architecture: By questioning the distinction between landmarks and the landscape they adjoin, architectural objects can themselves be environmental objects that amplify nature and increase our awareness of it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePortugal Lessons\u003c\/i\u003e is a project of laba, or Laboratory Basel, founded in 2011 as a satellite studio of the ﾉcole Polytechnique F馘駻ale de Lausanne's School of Architecture. The book presents the studio's case studies of the country and processes of urbanization. Rooted in laba's latest research, it explores architectural forms of life and housing: whom we live with or open our home to and how permeable that boundary should be. The findings are presented in more than two hundred striking graphics, drawings, plans, and photographs. The book also features proposals for architectural interventions by laba's students, all of them tackling issues of housing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry Gugger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3038601098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038601098\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 08\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.10h x 8.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Harry Gugger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075200708863,"sku":"9783038601098","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73616626-3560-4216-9b5d-edda1588ea38.jpg?v=1685458188","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/portugal-lessons-harry-gugger-9783038601098","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
