Description
Part of ORO's "Architecture in Detail" series, "Structures" chronicles recent work from some of the top architects and interior designers in practice today. Exploring the dichotomy between inside and outside, public and private, sumptuous and Spartan, the diverse and talented group of architects and interior designers featured herein use the three dimensions as their canvas, and in so doing continue to engage, surprise and inspire."Structures" addresses the idea of the architectural skeleton, investigating interior and exterior forms as essential, tensile constructions. What emerges is a sense of the imperative of crafting spaces for human shelter, commerce, entertainment and culture. Designers simultaneously draw on venerable architectural wisdom in arranging room layouts, while transgressing and erasing boundaries. Designed by Oscar Riera Ojeda and featuring the work of leading architectural photographer Paul Warchol, "Structures" provides an essential introduction to the mechanics of building.
