Bldgblog Book

by Geoff Manaugh

Bldgblog Book Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

California-based Manaugh publishes widely on art and architecture, and lectures at museums and design schools around the world. In 2004 he launched the website BLDGBLOG (bldgblog.blogspot.com) which explores the future of architecture, landscape, and the built environment. He continues that journey in book format, discussing a wide range of topics that fascinate him, particularly in the context of architecture. An opening chapter on architectural conjecture/urban speculation is followed by sections on underground structures; weather and climate change; the acoustic side of space, both human and naturally occurring; and the "futures"--both temporal and social value--of landscapes. Also included is a list of online, film, and print resources for further reading and viewing. Illustrated with b&w and color photographs, diagrams, and drawings, this adventurous text would be accessible to curious, motivated general readers. No subject index.

Nearly five million readers have visited the BLDGBLOG Web site since its inception in 2004 for stories about the past, news about the present, and speculation about the future of how humans shape their environment. The site provides intriguing details from the fringes of contemporary architectural practice in an accessible, thought-provoking, and highly entertaining manner. Here, author Geoff Manaugh presents his insights in book form, combining history, urban exploration, science fiction, design, climate change, and city planning with the view that everything is relevant to architecture. With five captivating and colorfully illustrated chapters, The BLDGBLOG Book is sure to delight and inspire the builder, the thinker, and the visionary in all of us.
