Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:If...Then: Architectural Speculation is the sixth in an annual series of publications featuring work by talented architects selected by The Architectural League of New York's Young Architects Competition jury. This year, entrants were asked to explore the process of architectural speculation: the act of imagination that precedes every work, projecting future events in a space that does not yet exist. The winners of the competition?Fernando Romero; Tobias Lundquist; Anthony Piermarini and Hansy L. Better Barraza; Keith Mitnick, Mireille Roddier, and Stewart Hicks; Tom Wiscombe; and Gail Peter Borden?take on this challenge and creatively address the social and political assumptions surrounding architectural production through a rethinking of site, program, form, technology, and materials. Book News Annotation:The title of this book and of the Architecture League's 23rd Young
Architects Forum (an annual competition, exhibition, and publication
of work), is derived from the language of computer programming.
"If.then" is the contingent phrase that is built into the
architecture of programming. The competition encouraged architects to
examine the role that architecture plays in providing symbols of
cultural value, and in this small volume the work of the six winning
firms is presented. The important role of computer modeling is
evident throughout the book, which is illustrated with concept
diagrams, plans, elevations, models, drawings, and digital images.
