Life in buildings is supported by pipes. Ducts, conduits, water mains, and cables support biological and social life in spaces that are today held together by air-conditioning, electricity, and telecommunications as much as by form and materials. But while pipes and the machines they connect are part of buildings, they are often left out of architecture. It's fascinating to see how architects dealt with pipes in history and what challenges they face today. This issue presents C-lab's research and includes contributions by Mark Wigley, John Hejduk, Kiel Moe, An Te Lui and others.
