A unique survey of the projects, products, and processes that define LOT-EK, the firm at the forefront of adapting prefabricated industrial units to create cutting-edge architecture.
LOT-EK is a design practice that believes in being unoriginal, ugly, and cheap. Also in being revolutionary, gorgeous, and completely luxurious.
LOT-EK’s work reveals extraordinary transformations of ordinary things - from their famous shipping container projects onward - combining maker culture and hacker culture into beautiful and radical visions for sustainable and meaningful living.
LOT-EK: Objects + Operations surveys dozens of projects - built, unbuilt and in-progress; polemical, practical, and in-between - complemented by photographs from LOT-EK’s multi-year URBAN SCAN project, a vast photographic document of infrastructure and incident, as well as essays by Thomas de Monchaux and interviews with founding partners Ada Tolla and Giuseppe Lignano.

Ada Tolla and Giuseppe Lignano founded New York-based LOT-EK in 1993, designing residential, commercial, and institutional projects in the US and abroad, as well as projects for major cultural institutions and museums, including MoMA, the Whitney Museum, the Guggenheim, and MAXXI. Besides heading their professional practice, they also teach at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation in New York. In December, Tolla and Lignano were recognized as USA Booth Fellows of Architecture & Design by United States Artists (USA).
Thomas de Monchaux writes for The New Yorker, Architect, and numerous other publications, and is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Architecture at Columbia GSAPP.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. A unique survey of the projects, products, and processes that define LOT-EK, the firm at the forefront of adapting prefabricated industrial units to create cutting-edge architecture.LOT-EK is a New York-based architecture practice whose primary design materials are the building blocks of the industrial economy. LOT-EK?s approach to design begins with technology and products whose original purposes were not architectural. In looking at what is behind and underneath urban systems, they find durable and combinable forms for the design of the future- air-conditioners, airplanes, antennas, billboards, and tunnels; boats, booths, coils, cranes, ducts, lifts, lights, stacks, shacks, sheds, and trucks; packaging, parking, plumbing, scaffolding, shipping containers, and tanks.In exploring the industrial vernacular-the unoriginal, ugly, and boring-they create design that is singular, dramatic, and luxurious. Theirs is a transformative architecture- instead of the vain inefficiency of generating expressive forms and adapting material systems to excessive requirements, LOT-EK finds ways to radically customize, combine, and co-opt existing forms, assemblies, and structures. As innovative practitioners of ?upcycling? (adapting a product for a purpose beyond its original manufacture), they create designs that are evolutionary and economical for an era when reuse is more urgent than ever.LOT-EK- OBJECTS + OPERATIONS surveys not just the increasingly complex and global projects by this firm-from Momofuku Milk Bar?s first retail store to open in New York City in 2016 to residential developments in Johannesburg, South Africa-but the techniques and tactics (operations) that the firm uniquely deploys. A buoyant celebration of how machine aesthetics can inform enriching and deeply humanistic architecture, LOT-EK- OBJECTS + OPERATIONS is a document of this firm?s commitment to designing for tomorrow using the industrial vocabulary of today.
