Architecture, Not Architecture

Since its founding in 1981, New York-based studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) has designed some of the world’s most revered civic spaces and cultural institutions, including the High Line in New York city and the upcoming V&A East Storehouse in London. Designed by DS+R as a pair of structurally conjoined volumes, entitled ‘Architecture’ and ‘Not Architecture’ this monograph invites readers to bridge different modes of production and reconsider the limits of architecture. The unique binding allows each volume to be read individually or in parallel by unfolding the book at the spine.  It also includes dialogues with visionaries from other creative fields, including artist Edmund de Waal, art critic and curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, curator Paola Antonelli and actor Alan Cumming.
