Alex Anmahian – författare

Taking Apart: An Incomplete Catalog of AW–ARCH presents the first comprehensive monograph on the work of Cambridge-based architects Alex Anmahian and Nick Winton. Structured as a taxonomic exploration, the book arranges more than three decades of projects into thematic chapters—Figure/Object, Light/Shadow, Material/Assembly, and Shell/Liner—revealing the conceptual threads that run through the firm’s houses, observatories, boathouses, cultural spaces, and urban interventions.Drawn from the studio’s extensive archive, the book features around 300 photographs, plans, and drawings and includes new reflections on process, materiality, and the sensory and spatial ambitions of the practice. Essays and project texts describe how AW–ARCH’s work emerges from an exacting engagement with site, program, and construction, resulting in architecture that is simultaneously rigorous, inventive, and deeply attuned to experience.
