Speculative Coolness : Architecture, Media, the Real, and the Virtual, Paperback / softback Book

Speculative Coolness : Architecture, Media, the Real, and the Virtual Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Cantley’s work offers a unique and critical insight into the emergence of a liminal territory that exists between the real and the virtual that mainstream architecture has yet to exploit.

Speculative Coolness surveys and collects a highly experimental architecture/design praxis.

This book presents a selected body of his work, showcasing projects which seek to understand and explore the conditions, contexts, and media logics which govern this new territory, and to speculate on the Architecture[s] which it might occupy, and which might occupy it.

Featuring both resolved projects and work[s] that are under development, this anthology represents constructs that locate themselves somewhere between architecture and its documentative media.

The projects are presented alongside a series of critical essays written by pre-eminent architectural practitioners and theorists.

These essays explore the disciplinary, social, and cultural context of the work, serving to underscore the importance of these explorations to the expansion of disciplinary knowledge.
