Résumé:

"Provisional profiles nine of America's most exciting architectural practices. They all share a pragmatic, "roll-up-your-sleeves" approach that seeks opportunities to redefine the role of craft in architectural practice. Their interdisciplinary design approach and savvy use of communication networks for interfirm collaborations has produced a diverse array of projects on a variety of scales." "Enlightening interviews together with a selection of drawings, diagrams, models, renderings, and building-process photographs reveal a shared commitment to experimentation and learning-by-doing. Provisional showcases the defining elements of contemporary architectural thinking and making in America, and asks: Does a singularly American architecture even exist? And if so, does it matter?"--BOOK JACKET.
