Résumé:

"The 1001 building forms in Siteless include structural parasites, chain-link towers, ball-bearing floors, corrugated corners, exponential balconies, radial facades, crawling frames, forensic housing - and other architectural ideas that may require construction techniques not yet developed and a relation to gravity not yet achieved. Siteless presents an open-ended compendium of visual ideas for the architectural imagination to draw from." "The forms, drawn freehand (to avoid software-specific shapes) but from a constant viewing angle, are presented twelve to a page, with no scale, order, or end to the series. After setting down 1001 forms in siteless conditions and embryonic stages, Blanciak takes one of the forms and performs a "scale test," showing what happens when one of these fantastic ideas is subjected to the actual constraints of a site in central Tokyo. The book ends by illustrating the potential of these shapes to morph into actual building proportions."--Jacket.
