- Summary
- "Sculptural buildings by architects such as Frank Gehry and Rem Koolhaas and architectural sculptures by artists such as Anish Kapoor are now well known. The work that precedes them is less familiar." "This is the first attempt to understand how sculpture and architecture have come to be fused in such an intriguing alliance. Mies van der Rohe's pioneering Barcelona Pavilion (1929) is taken as the point of departure and a leitmotif for the book, which concludes with Dan Graham's hybrid pavilion sculptures of the 1980s and 90s."--BOOK JACKET.
