Exposure to excessive quantities is toxic, but without them our bodies would atrophy. They are the crystalline structures that support life. Over the past decade, Aranda\\Lasch has focused obsessively on these structures as a form of both organization and expression for architecture. Their projects explore the interplay between rule-based systems and human ritual. In scale, this work lies somewhere between furniture and building, so that what is built, drawn, and projected gives human measure to procedural thinking. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished on the occasion of the studio's exhibition \"Meeting the Clouds Halfway\" at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Tucson, this book is a collection of recent explorations into modularity, craft, pattern, rhythm, material, and memory. \u003ci\u003eTrace Elements\u003c\/i\u003e documents a wide-ranging and yet sharply focused body of work from an office dedicated both to intellectual exploration and the honing of a distinct design sensibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Aranda, Chris Lasch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941332331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941332337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia Books on Architecture and the City\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.30h x 4.80w x 0.40d","brand":"Benjamin Aranda","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46334517510399,"sku":"9781941332337","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55836f57-ac57-4267-9bd0-40a8241d8a5a.jpg?v=1731467040","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trace-elements-benjamin-aranda-9781941332337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
