Abstract 05|06

Abstract presents the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation of Columbia University as an open-ended laboratory for research and experimentation through a catalogue of exceptional student work, faculty texts, and images of the events that characterize the atmosphere of the school. It has an introductory text by Dean Mark Wigley and includes work conducted by each of the school's programs: Architecture, Urban Design, Historic Preservation, and Real Estate Development. This newest volume of abstract includes projects from the design studios of Hernan Diaz Alonso, Karl Chu, Laura Kurgan, Jeffrey Inaba, Laurie Hawkinson, Steven Holl, Qingyun Ma, Greg Lynn, LOT/EK, Jurgen Mayer, and Reinhold Martin among many others. This edition of Abstract is the third designed by Stefan Sagmeister. The uniquely bound signatures of each volume (with separately designed but equally beautiful covers) alludes both to the assemblage of the school and the logic of the actual production of the book itself. Enjoy!
