Decoration

306090 10

Emily Abruzzo, Alexander Briseno, Jonathan D. Solomon

Series: 306090

With Decoration, the long-running architecture journal 306090 enters a new era as it evolves into full-color book format. In this milestone volume – mixing contemporary building projects with commentary and criticism from across the ideological spectrum, as well as interviews, studio profiles and student work – 306090 takes on one of the very last taboos of contemporary architecture: decoration.

Daring to discuss a phenomenon that surrounds us, but has been quietly ignored or dismissed by theorists and critics in the better part of the 20th century, Decoration addresses emerging trends in design, planning, landscape, and education. Contributors to this landmark installment include Jesse Reiser, Kent Bloomer, Kengo Kuma, Nina Rappaport and Meredith Warner.
