"Oppositions" was the nearly square journal of the Institute of Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS), the non-academic NYC institution founded by Peter Eisenman that also presented lectures, published books, printed a newsletter, hosted exhibitions, functioned as a school, and was directly responsible for at least one building. Massimo Vignelli’s design of the journal, from its orange cover and font selection to the mainly two-column layout of text and images, was integral to the journal and institution’s identity, so the reader replicates the originals in the few-dozen contributions from two-dozen issues that comprise it. It is a rewarding collection that includes some of the most important — and frustrating, admittedly — writings on architectural history and theory in its time. ( ) no reviews | add a review
In its 11-year history, Oppositions, the journal of the New York-based Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS), set the agenda, introduced key players and published seminal pieces on the theorization of architecture in the late 20th century. No library descriptions found. |
