Trade Paperback. Etat : Used. The Grand Tour was once the culmination of an architect's education. As ajourney to the cultural sites of Europe, the Tour's agenda was clearly defined: tostudy ancient monuments in order to reproduce them at home. Architects returned fromtheir Grand Tours with rolls of measured drawings and less tangible spoils: patronage, commissions, and cultural cachet. Although no longer carried out underthe same name, the practices inscribed by the Grand Tour have continued relevancefor contemporary architects. This edition of Perspecta--the oldest and mostdistinguished student-edited architectural journal in America--uses the Grand Tour, broadly conceived, as a model for understanding the history, current incarnation, and future of architectural travel. Perspecta 41 asks: where do we go, how do werecord what we see, what do we bring back, and how does it change us? Contributionsinclude explorations of architects' travels in times of war; Peter Eisenman'saccount of his career-defining 1962 trip with Colin Rowe around Europe in aVolkswagen; Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown's discussion of their travelingand its effect on their collecting, teaching, and design work; drawings documentingthe monolithic churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia; an account of how James Gamble Rogersdesigned Yale's Sterling Library and residential colleges using his collection ofpostcards; and a proposed itinerary for a contemporary Grand Tour--inAmerica.ContributorsEsra Akcan, Aaron Betsky, Ljiljana Blagojevic [acute accent overc], Edward Burtynsky, Matthew Coolidge and CLUI, Gillian Darley, Brook Denison, Helen Dorey, Keller Easterling, Peter Eisenman, Dan Graham and Mark Wasiuta, JefferyInaba and C-Lab, Sam Jacob, Michael Meredith, Colin Montgomery, Dietrich Neumann, Enrique Ramirez, Mary-Ann Ray and Robert Mangurian, Kazys Varnelis, Robert Venturiand Denise Scott Brown, Enrique Walker Architectural travel, from the Eternal City to the generic city. sun damaged, wear, spine whitening,edges dirty.…
