About This Item
NY: Museum of Modern Art. Fine. 1995. Softcover. 0870701290 . Foreword by Glenn D. Lowry. Many photos and illustrations. Published in conjunction with a 1995-96 exhibition at MOMA. "In this architecture of lightness, buildings become intangible, structures shed their weight, and facades become unstable, dissolving into an often luminous evanescence. The 33 projects illustrated in this book exemplify this emerging sensibility, which is examined in a penetrating essay by Terence Riley, chief curator of the department of architecture and design at The Museum of Modern Art, that places the new work in a broad historic and cultural perspective. More than 30 architects are represented in this international selection, and it includes a broad range of building types, scales and technologies, from the small Leisure Studio created by a group of young Finnish architects to Renzo Piano's enormous Kansai International Airport in Japan. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 163 pages .
