Center 21 The Secret Life of Buildings, 1st Ed

About the Item

Center 21: The Secret Life of Buildings by Michael Benedikt; Kory Bieg; Ian Bogost; Graham Harman; Craig Dykers; Patrik Schumacher; Levi Bryant; Keith Ragsdale and Albena Yaneva. Center for American Architecture and Design, 2018. 1st Ed softcover. The book "employs the nascent philosophies of speculative realism and object-oriented ontology to illuminate architecture as a peculiar set of objects, phenomena, relations, materials, and operations. Object-oriented ontology (OOO) is a philosophy that considers all objects (virtual or physical, large or small, singular or plural, closed or open) to be on equal ontological footing. Although it doesn’t exclude humans, it treats them as just another set of objects. This volume explores OOO’s significance to architecture, and possibly vice versa." --Publisher's description. NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
