Expo On-line: Less Aesthetics, More Ethics (附CD)-9788820804176

描述

We inhabit a society living at the speed of light, projected into the future. Information is accessible anywhere, regardless of space–knowledge, and, by extension, reality, has become free-floating. In the midst of all this, is it really possible for individual artists to successfully intervene and create change in the world? Expo On-Line answers this question with a resounding yes, suggesting that in the field of architecture and design there exists a collective mission to improve contemporary life, as well as justified hope for building and rebuilding our foundations as a world-culture. Extensively documenting the work of Expo On-Line’s 74 participants, this publication also features a CD-ROM containing interviews with 40 architects including Greg Lynn, Zaha Hadid, MVRDV, Odile Decq, Dominique Perrault, Kas Osterhuis, Jean Nouvel, Massimiliano Fuksas, Arata Isozaki, among numerous others. The result is a book and accompanying CD-ROM that represent the best of the newest developments in architecture and design, reflecting the demands of the digital era.
