Description:Chronicling the last radical architectural group of the twentieth century NATO (Narrative Architecture Today) who emerged from the Architectural Association at the start of the 1980s, this book explores the group s work which echoed a wider artistic and literary culture that drew on the specific political, social and physical condition of 1980s London. It traces NATO s identification with a particular stream of post-punk, postmodern expression: a celebration of the abject, an aesthetic of entropy, and a do-it-yourself provisionality. NATO has most often been documented in reference to Nigel Coates (the instigator of NATO), which has led to a one-sided, one-dimensional record of NATO s place in architectural history. This book sets out a more detailed, contextual history of NATO, told through photographs, drawings, and ephemera, restoring a truer polyvocal narrative of the group s ethos and development."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
