beyond architecture - imaginative buildings and fictional cities
beyond architecture is the first publication of its kind to document the creative exploration of architecture and urban propositions in the contemporary arts. the projects collected in this book demonstrate how not only architects and designers but also artists are taking architecture as a starting point for experimentation. they range from performance, installation art and crafted sculptures to architectural models, alternative ideas for living spaces and furniture, as well as illustration, painting, collage and photography. through stunning photography, visuals and complementary texts, these visionary concepts reveal the hidden creative potential for architecture and urban environments in inventive ways.

the interplay between architecture and visual culture will certainly pave the future aesthetic and shape the development of architectural practices and urban landscapes in the decades to come. beyond architecture is not only an essential and inspiring reference for architects, but for anyone interested in visual culture.
