As its name suggests, GRAFT's groundbreaking architecture
and design crosses boundaries between disciplines and "grafts" the
creative potentials and methodologies of different realities to each other. By
doing so, the collective has created a pioneering architectonic and visual
language that takes surprising, seemingly contrary combinations of ideas and
melds them into projects that are aesthetically innovative as well as
sustainable and socially meaningful. Distinct Ambiguity is the first book to
present GRAFT's comprehensive body of work. It is structured into 5 thematic
chapters that reflect the fundamental aspects of the collective's inimitable
approach. Each one --Ambiguity, Curiosity, Narration, Happiness, and Courage-- is
illustrated by stunning visuals of the work that best illustrates the concept,
from the celebrated projects of the Make It Right Foundation in New Orleans to
resorts in harmony with their natural surroundings, zero-energy villas, and
whimsical home furnishings. Insightful chapter introductions and project
descriptions provide detailed documentation of the inspiration, context, and
processes involved in creating some of the most visionary and relevant
architecture and design of our time. Distinct Ambiguity features a foreword by
director of Haus am Waldsee Dr. Katja Blomberg.
