New possibilities for seemingly impossible buildings and
spaces.
In contemporary architecture nothing appears to be impossible anymore. Today,
every form, every space, and every idea--no matter how visionary, radical, or
absurd--seems to be not only conceivable, but also technically feasible.
Innovative materials and digital construction tools are enabling a new
generation of architects, engineers, and designers to build structures that
would have previously remained mere dreams. Against this background, buildings,
rooms, and installations are being created that are both sculptural and
atmospheric. What makes these experimental structures different from those
created earlier in the new millennium is that they meld their playful side with
rigorous usability. Despite their radical nature, they are made to facilitate
comfortable living and effective work.
The Sky's the Limit is a collection of inspiring projects by both young and
established protagonists of this recent evolution in architecture. The book
features spectacularly formed structures and facades as well as new
interpretations of walls, ceilings, and floors. Interiors and exteriors of
temporary projects and urban interventions are found alongside those of
buildings designed to be permanent.
The Sky's the Limit challenges architects, engineers, interior designers,
artists, booth builders, material experts, and exhibition planners to unleash
the potential of cutting-edge building developments. The book is a visual
journey to structures at the outer limit of our spatial imagination made more
compelling by the fact that they actually exist.
