INDEX
Architecture: A Columbia Book of Architecture. Bernard
Tschumi & Matthew Berman, eds.
Acting as a synopsis of the Columbia
University's architecture program under the reign of Bernard
Tschumi, the book is also a document of the enormous changes
that occurred in architecture studios during the 90's, as
computers replaced drafting boards. The book is organized
like a dictionary (organized alphabetically by cross-referenced
key words) and features both student and critic work to
emphasize the cross-fertilization of ideas present at the
school. The graphic-heavy book includes quotes from such
critics as Kenneth Frampton, Hani Rashid, Steven Holl and
Greg Lynn as well as project abstracts to help lend an understanding
to a program that has had a dramatic impact on contemporary
architecture.
