Imagining the Modern explores Pittsburgh's ambitious modern architecture and urban renewal program that made it a gem of American postwar cities, and set the stage for its stature today. In the 1950s and '60s an ambitious program of urban revitalization transformed Pittsburgh and became a model for other American cities. Billed as the Pittsburgh Renaissance, this era of superlatives - the city claimed the tallest aluminum clad building, the world's largest retractable dome, the tallest steel structure - developed through visionary mayors and business leaders, powerful urban planning authorities, and architects and urban designers of international renown, including Frank Lloyd Wright, I.M. Pei, Mies van der Rohe, SOM, and Harrison & Abramovitz. These leaders, civic groups, and architects worked together to reconceive the city through local and federal initiatives that aimed to address the problems that confronted Pittsburgh's postwar development. Initiated as an award-winning exhibition at the Carnegie Museum of Art in 2014, Imagining the Modern untangles this complicated relationship with modern architecture and planning through a history of Pittsburgh's major sites, protagonists, and voices of intervention. Through original documentation, photographs and drawings, as well as essays, analytical drawings, and interviews with participants, this book provides a nuanced view of this crucial moment in Pittsburgh's evolution. Addressing both positive and negative impacts of the era, Imagining the Modern examines what took place during the city's urban renewal era, what was gained and lost, and what these histories might suggest for the city's future.

Hurry up, we’re late: The early decades of the 21st century have demonstrated that we are already behind. Concepts like Moore’s Law, accelerationism, Hyperloop, and rapid news cycles push the notion that speed is the answer. Modern day futurists argue that salvation lies in technology and outer space, while architecture has striven to keep pace with cultural events through the late 20th century and into the present, even as we face environmental crises and build our lives around the remnants of Late Modernism.Late Modernism and Other Latenesses offers an understanding of the contradictory impulses in architecture and culture from the 1960s through the 1980s, a period rich in utopian visions and revolution but also burdened by global expansionism and crisis. Topical essays explore aspects of lateness, referring to concrete buildings and architectural projects, and to key texts from the period. The concept of lateness is used not as a backward-looking tool but as one that is simply behind the beat. The book is a reaction and rebuttal to the surging flows of finance, media, and culture that influence architectural production and its aligned disciplines, seeking for missing conditions that might redefine architecture's relationship to its cultural moment.

AW–ARCH is an award-winning architecture practice based in Cambridge, MA, founded in 1992. Their work ranges from houses and cultural buildings to research-driven installations, and is widely recognised for its precise detailing, material intelligence, and conceptual clarity.Taking Apart: An Incomplete Catalog of AW–ARCH is the first comprehensive monograph on the work of founding principals Alex Anmahian and Nick Winton and their team. Structured as a taxonomic exploration, it 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 some 300 photographs, plans, and drawings and offers reflections on process, materiality, and the sensory and spatial ambitions of AW-ARCH. Essays and project texts describe how their work emerges from an exacting engagement with site, program, and construction, resulting in architecture that is simultaneously rigorous, inventive, and deeply attuned to experience.
