Forfatteren James Wines er en briljant billedhugger som ble arkitekt, med en ambisjon om å implementere miljødesign i bygningsrom allerede på 70-tallet. Denne boken er en samling av arkitektoniske høydepunkter – noen verdenskjente, andre kanskje mer som skjulte perler å oppdage. Boken tar deg med på en reise verden rundt og peker ut spektakulære bygg av historisk, religiøs og kulturell betydning, samt private boliger.

Om forfatteren:
James Wines, founder of the architecture and environmental design studio SITE, has spent much of his career challenging the notion that architecture is an act of formal invention. As he has written, “SITE’s work is about inversion, fusion, intervention, exaggeration—often just taking something apart and examining the elements of construction from a different point of view.”
During his 10 years working as a sculptor in Italy, Wines gained an appreciation for what he described as “the intrinsic blending of art, architecture, communicative iconography, and public space.”
He led a prolific career as an artist in the 1950s and 1960s, exhibiting his sculptural work in galleries and corporate plazas before turning toward architecture and environmental design. Explaining his disillusionment with the practice of sculpture, he later wrote, “I was tired of the exhibition context. It wasn’t public enough.”
After relocating to New York, Wines began to develop the conceptual basis for a design practice that would “focus on materially sensible and structurally uncomplicated buildings, shaped by social, psychological, and site-specific ideas drawn from the surrounding environment.”
In 1970, alongside collaborators Alison Sky, Emilio Sousa, and Michelle Stone, he established SITE—originally an acronym for Sculpture in the Environment. SITE’s founders bemoaned the dominance of Industrial Age notions of architecture as a purely functionalist pursuit, aiming instead to reconfigure buildings as sources of information and commentary on their physical contexts. For Wines, assembling new meanings from existing architectural forms was a more challenging pursuit than creating new forms altogether.
