EMERGENT s impressive command of variable structures, envelopes and forms according to Peter Zellner in his introduction offers up a genuine route away from the shimmering imagery of the computer screen and points towards an authoritative demonstration of an architecture grounded in new building techniques. This ambitious claim is supported throughout this publication with survey of 21 works and projects, reproduced here in full colour and accompanied by plans, details, computer models and texts. Among the designs featured here, many unrealised, are the Cheonga City Tower in Incheon, Korea; the Freshwater and Emerald Plazas, UAE; Sundsvall Arts Theater, Sweden; the Mersey Observation Deck, Liverpool; their Dragonfly design for SCI-Arc, Los Angeles; the Czech National Library, Prague and the Urban Beach for MoMA/P.S.1, New York. - from Amzon
