An examination of architecture as it comes in contact with other disciplines in the contemporary world.Combining formal argument with informal conversations and design proposals, Architecture at the Edge of Everything Else offers creative ideas for thinking and acting architecture differently. What makes the book unique (apart from its lively graphic format) is the freshness of its voicesyoung architects and emerging practitioners who for the most part have not published before. Interwoven with their proposals are conversations among these new voices and more established authors and practitioners, including Sanford Kwinter, Sylvia Lavin, K. Michael Hays, Philippe Rahm, Liam Gillick, Teddy Cruz, and Michael Meredith. Architecture at the Edge of Everything Else investigates the inner contradictions tangling and obscuring architectural discourse. It locates architecture in a cultural, social, political, and situational landscapethe space it actually occupies in the contemporary world. Examining architecture as it comes into contact with other disciplinesincluding art, art history, cultural studies, curating, landscape architecture, neuroaesthetics, pedagogy, philosophy, political science, and urbanismthe book considers architecture's precarious position at the edge: at the edge of its own dilemmas and at the edge of everything else. In different ways, all the contributors suggest how to understand the innovative possibilities and pitfalls of spatial practicesteasing, analyzing, and celebrating architecture's disciplinary ambiguitywith proposals that range from a lores architecture to one controlled by the curatorial impulse, from customizable skins on residential buildings to the collection of residual space for new uses. Their investigations encompass how to interpret, how to intervene, and how to imagine. Breaking out of institutional molds and reaching across generational divides, Architecture at the Edge of Everything Else marks the beginning of a new conversation about architecture and its expanded landscape.ContributorsBrett Albert, Matthew Allen, Esther Choi, Teddy Cruz, Suzanne Ernst, Liam Gillick, K.
