Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
For two weeks each summer, architect Brian MacKayLyons uses his family farm on the east coast of Nova Scotia for a special event . Among the stone ruins of a village almost four hundred years old, he assembles a community of architects, professors, and students for a designbuild internship and educational initiative called Ghost Research Lab. The twoweek projectone week of design and oneweek of constructionrests on the idea that architecture is not only about building but also about the landscape, its history, and the community. Based on the apprenticeship environment of the ancient guilds, where architectural knowledge was transferred through direct experience, Ghost redefines the architect as a builder who cultivates and contributes to the quality of the native landscape.Published to celebrate the event's tenth anniversary, Ghost offers a thorough documentation of the past decades designbuild events including drawings, models, and final photographs of completed structures. Organized chronologically and interwoven with MacKayLyonss simple and accessible personal narratives, Ghost also features essays by some of the most eminent figures in architectural criticism, including Christine Macy, Brian Carter, Karl Habermann, Robert Ivy, Kenneth Frampton, Thomas Fisher, Juhani Pallasmaa, Peter Buchanan, and Robert McCarter. In an architectural climate full of trends and egos, Ghost is the rare manifesto that does not preach but rather inspires quietly with simple ideas that unexpectedly unsettle and arouse.
