A+U 627 22:12 Engineering Art
In questo numero di ‘a+u’, le collaborazioni tra artisti e ingegneri sono presentate in venti diverse opere che vanno dai piani di progetto di 60 anni di Christo e Jeanne-Claude, la scultura più alta di Richard Serra, le sculture monumentali di acciaio e cemento di Pablo Picasso e le installazioni in rete di Janet Echelman.
Questi progetti presentano l’ingegneria come una disciplina artistica ed estetica, liberata dai vincoli architettonici convenzionali. Dialoghi con artisti, schizzi e riflessioni evidenziano gli incroci tra ingegneria e arte. Il volume è curato da Guy Nordenson, con otto saggi dei collaboratori Mike Schlaich, Sigrid Adrianssens e molti altri.
