Book Description:
What would it be like to live in R. Buckminster Fuller's hexagonal Dymaxion House? To visit Arata Isozaki's project for Hiroshima? To grow up in John Hejduk's Wall House? There are only fictional answers to questions such as these, but what imagination wouldn't ponder them upon seeing the drawings assembled in The Changing of the Avant Garde? Featuring 165 expertly reproduced visionary architectural drawings from The Museum of Modern Art's Howard Gilman Archive, this collection brings together a selection of idealized, fantastic, and utopian architectural drawings mainly from the 1960s and 70s. This publication, the first to consider the drawings since the archive was established in 1998, is accompanied by essays exploring the significance of the works, and an interview with Pierre Apraxine, the former curator of the collection.
With visionary drawings by visionary architects Raimund Abraham, Emilio Ambasz, R. Buckminster Fuller, Peter Cook, Yona Friedman, John Hejduk, Ron Herron, Arata Isozaki, Rem Koolhaas, Leon Krier, Alessandro Mendini, Gaetano Pesce, Walter Pichler, Cedric Price, Aldo Rossi, Massimo Scholari, Ettore Sottsass, Friedrich St. Florian, Superstudio, Michael Webb, Elia Zenghelis, and others.
Edited by Terence Riley.
Essays by Sarah DeYong and Marco Michelis.
Interview by Paola Antonelli.
