Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The first edition of Hypersurface presented an analysis of contemporary culture that identified two interpenetrating trends: avant garde architecture and everyday commercial practices. Hypersurface II demonstrates the convergence of these two forces that radicalizes form and deterritorializes subjectivity. This second edition further investigates the way in which effects emerge within architecture and explores the manifestations of this unprecedented moment in architecture where the rampages of commercial culture begin to cross-contaminate architectural form. Book News Annotation:Articles on Jyrki Tasa's House Into (designed to provide optimal
conditions for social life) and Max Baring's resident-run colored
light show at West London's Trellick Tower are followed by reviews of
books and exhibitions. The main body of the book contains essays on
hypersurface theory alongside incredible visuals. Perella and
Carpenter's study on the M<:o>bius House for post-Cartesian dwelling
is particularly intriguing.
