Event-Cities C4 follows directly from the work of\u003ci\u003eEvent-Cities 3\u003c\/i\u003e, which examined the interaction of architectural content, concept, and context. This volume takes the interaction a step further, looking at a series of projects for which program or context are insufficient as a generative conceptual strategy, hence requiring a different approach. Tschumi has said, \"Over the past years, there is one word I have almost never used, except in order to attack it: 'form.'\" In \u003ci\u003eEvent-Cities 4\u003c\/i\u003e, Tschumi introduces the \"concept-form\" a concept generating a form, or a form generating a concept, so that one reinforces the other. The concept may be programmatic, technological, or social. The form may be singular or multiple, regular or irregular. Concept-forms act as organizing devices or common denominators for the multiple dimensions of programs and their evolution over time, and drive the projects featured in this book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighlights include master plans for a pair of media-based work spaces and cultural campuses in Singapore and Abu Dhabi; a major master plan for a financial center with 40,000 projected inhabitants in the Dominican Republic; the innovative Blue Residential Tower in New York City; a group of museums and cultural buildings in France, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and South Korea; a pedestrian bridge in France; and a \"multi-programmatic\" furniture piece, the TypoLounger. The book contains more than twenty of the Tschumi firm's recent projects, showcasing the most current and forward-looking designs of one of the world's leading architectural practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262512411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.60w x 1.91d","brand":"Bernard Tschumi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52379378843829,"sku":"9780262512411","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e2200f9c-b69e-49f0-aefd-f4a2648d4df3.jpg?v=1774372574","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/event-cities-4-concept-form-9780262512411","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
