Summary:

"Architect, curator, and industrial designer Emilio Ambasz is renowned for projects that fuse architecture and landscape - high-rise buildings enveloped in verdant screens of trees and plants, and houses that virtually disappear beneath mounds of earth. In this collection of essays, scholars and architects take up the challenge and set about rigorously "analyzing Ambasz." In addition to exploring his architectural work, the authors examine Ambasz's innovative industrial designs, including the Vertebra chair and dozens of other ingenious objects. Ambasz's curatorial work, particularly "New Italian Design" exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, is also discussed.
Completing the volume is Sorkin's interview with Ambasz and Emilio, the self-described visionary and pragmatic sides of the designer's personality. Photographs and drawings accompany this debate that expands our understanding of Ambasz and his work."--Jacket.
