SERIE. Lee, Christopher C. M., and Kapil Gupta. Working in Series

Architectural Association. 2010

Book ID: 86698

The construction of a mental habit that systematically confronts the complexities and the contradiction of the architectural profession is what characterises the work of Serie. Serie searches for a level of coherence that goes beyond iconic recognition. Its method is an attempt to coincide and negotiate the two extremes of architecture: the commitment to the city and its project, and the definition of an architectural method discernible in its own disciplinary terms. Serie works in the direction of reconciling the disputation between city and design, and the framework of this reconciliation is the idea of type.
