Urban centers are continually being made and remade; they are palimpsests of the values, technologies, ingenuity, and aesthetics of times that precede ours and that were vital in shaping our present. The evolution of the city depends upon designers' ability to find ways to preserve this past, while shaping a rich and resilient ecosystem for the future. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Whether designing carefully considered ground-up buildings or adapting older buildings for new life, building on history is a fundamental base for contemporary practice. This monograph explores the profound relationship between the past and future of architecture that defines DXA Studio's practice. The book presents 14 projects that embrace history as a critical influence; they use New York City as a laboratory to implement this approach that acknowledges context and constraint as constructive, rather than restrictive. Integral to its time and place, such architecture offers a distinctive identity, clarity, and timelessness to the urban fabric. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The through line connecting the projects is DXA's interest in the transformative power of architecture. When well-conceived and expertly crafted, buildings can be more than the sum of their materials. They activate the city in a meaningful way and can change entire neighborhoods, serving as a catalyst for growth and vitality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dispersed throughout the book are text pieces that contextualize the work and bring in the voices of leading thinkers on a variety of topics that support the typologies on display. These include three essays by authors who are experts in their fields, including Russell Shorto (author of The Island at the Center of the World) on The Shape of New York, Judith Zilczer (Curator Emeritus Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and Art Historian) on De Kooning's Space about the firm's project at De Kooning's former studio at 831 Broadway, and Patrick Cullina (landscape architect and horticulturalist) on Integrating Dynamic Landscape Design into Collaborative Praxis. There are also four 'conversations' between the DXA partners and prominent thinkers and professionals, including Robert Tierney (former chairman of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission), Cas Stachelberg (Preservationist and Partner, Higgins \u0026amp; Quasebarth), Gregory Rogove (musician), and Gregory Wessner (Civic Leader and Executive Director of the National Academy of Design). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e FEATURED PROJECTS: \u003cbr\u003e 280 St. Marks Avenue\u003cbr\u003e Carroll Gardens Courtyard House\u003cbr\u003e Williamsburg Sustainable House\u003cbr\u003e West 81ST Street Church Conversion\u003cbr\u003e Ulmer Brewery\u003cbr\u003e 14 White Street\u003cbr\u003e 102 Greene Street \u003cbr\u003e 47-49 Greene Street \u003cbr\u003e 831 Broadway\u003cbr\u003e Essex Crossing\u003cbr\u003e 215-225 West 28TH Street\u003cbr\u003e Midtown Viaduct\u003cbr\u003e The Great Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 11.26 x 9.13 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 14, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457126547709,"sku":"9781951541903","price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/Y2lpYXd1SnNucTBzQWV2THBUSlloZz09.webp?v=1777234348","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/dxa-nyc-ten-years-of-building-on-history-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
