"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. ( )
