Alternative histories / curated by Jantje Engels and Marius Grootveld ; photography by Thomas Adank and Guus Kaandorp
[Yarlington, England] : Drawing Matter, [2019]
1 volume (unpaged) : illustrations ; 30 cm
"Acknowledging that architecture is a corpus of inherited ideas, Alternative Histories began with a question: could a contemporary architect, with their own references, make a model that would respond to a drawing from the past? This book collects the 85 models produced by the same number of practices alongside the architectural drawings that prompted them, all of which are held in the UK-based archive of Drawing Matter. Taken as a whole, the responses challenge the facile understanding of concepts of reference, history or influence as drivers of contemporary architectural thinking. From methods to materials, the project opens up not only new ways of looking at the past, but also a series of conversations about how architects today shape their present."--Publisher's inserted sheet (1 page)
