Beyond Architecture

Beyond Architecture is the first publication of its kind to document the creative

exploration of architecture and urban propositions in the contemporary arts.

Presenting experimental projects from an array of creative contexts, the book

features a multitude of groundbreaking approaches. It demonstrates how not

only architects and designers but also artists are taking architecture as a starting

point for experimentation.

The projects collected in this book range from performance, installation art and

crafted sculptures to architectural models, alternative ideas for living spaces

and furniture, as well as illustration, painting, collage and photography. Through

stunning photographs and complementary texts, these visionary concepts reveal

the hidden creative potential for architecture and urban environments in inventive

ways.

The interplay between architecture and visual culture will certainly pave the future

aesthetic and shape the development of architectural practices and urban landscapes

in the decades to come. Beyond Architecture is not only an essential

and inspiring reference for architects, but for anyone interested in visual culture.
