{"product_id":"officeus-agenda-9783037784372","title":"Officeus Agenda","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eOfficeUS Agenda\u003c\/i\u003e, the catalogue for the U.S. Pavilion, serves simultaneously as a guide and counterpoint to the exhibition. Organized into stories of expertise, exchange, and export, the \u003ci\u003eAgenda\u003c\/i\u003e frames the narratives that have projected the organizational structures and branded identity of U.S. architecture firms internationally from 1914-2014. The \u003ci\u003eAgenda\u003c\/i\u003e includes thirteen essays of original scholarship, including Barry Bergdoll, Beatriz Colomina, Jorge Otero-Pailos and Keller Easterling. OfficeUS, the U.S. Pavilion for the 2014 International Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia, reframes the history of U.S. architecture through the lens of export in two interrelated constructs: \"The Office\" and \"The Repository.\" The Repository presents 1000 projects designed by 200 US offices working abroad in a chronological archive of the last 100 years. Collectively these projects tell multiple, imbricated stories of U.S. firms, typologies, and technologies, as well as a broader narrative of modernization and its global reach. The Office engages these projects, revisiting their premises and conclusions over the course of the Biennale. It functions as a laboratory staffed by a diverse group of resident design partners collaborating with outpost offices and a rotating cast of visiting experts. Together, these two halves of OfficeUS create both an historical record of the U.S. contribution to global architectural thought, and a petri dish in which that record is submitted to contemporary agents of disruption and critique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Muller Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037784372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Eva Franch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38017366687925,"sku":"9783037784372","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_781fb99f-bfb5-49d1-9ffc-6878fcf29c87.jpg?v=1609164154","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/officeus-agenda-9783037784372","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
