Résumé:
"This is an experiential architecture, not a theoretical one. It is grounded in reality, not in abstract dogma, yet it seeks the transcendent, every bit as earnestly - perhaps even more so - then architecture that is built on pure theory. It is the way space, texture, light, materials actually feel that motivates these architects, and it is their skill at manipulating(...)

Résumé:
"This is an experiential architecture, not a theoretical one. It is grounded in reality, not in abstract dogma, yet it seeks the transcendent, every bit as earnestly - perhaps even more so - then architecture that is built on pure theory. It is the way space, texture, light, materials actually feel that motivates these architects, and it is their skill at manipulating these elements that gives their work the rigor and strength it possesses. This architecture is marked by a sense of a self-assured and sensual presence, shaped by light, texture, materiality and scale. It should almost go without saying at this point that in an age in which most architects actively seek to achieve the identity of a "look," Olson Sundberg's work eschews simple similarities. Certain principles are evident from one building to another, as is the absence of direct historical replication, but consistency is not the same as a packageable style. Indeed, a single, easily identifiable style is something that these architects not only do not have but seem actively to discourage, as if its presence could be taken as a sign that their firm was not sufficiently cognizant of the widely varying demands that are inherent in different clients' programs, sites and esthetic preferences. They seem determined to prove that consistency of belief need not yield similarity of visual appearance – and that it is possible to produce a coherent body of work that does not look precisely the same." Excerpted from the introduction written by Paul Goldberger.

Résumé:
“Craft” is a contested concept in art history and a vital category through which to understand contemporary art. Through craft, materials, techniques, and tools are investigated and their histories explored in order to reflect on the politics of labor and on the extraordinary complexity of the made world around us. This anthology offers an ethnography of craft, surveying its shape-shifting identities in the context of progressive art and design through writings by artists and makers as well as poetry, fiction, anthropology, and sociology. It maps a secret history of craft through lost and overlooked texts that consider pedagogy, design, folk art, the factory, and new media in ways that illuminate our understanding of current art practice.
