Ila Berman, principal of Scaleshift design and the new Dean of the University of Virginia School of Architecture, is an architect, theorist, and curator of architecture and urbanism whose research investigates the relationship between culture and the evolution of contemporary material and spatial practices. Douglas Burnham is principal and founder of envelope a+d, an award-winning architecture and design firm whose work reconceptualizes modes of living and building to advance compelling visions of the emerging urban condition.
"Astute readers of art theory will recognize the title of this
book, which refers to Rosalind Krauss's seminal essay, "Sculpture
in the Expanded Field." In this image-drenched book, Berman and
Burnham explore art/architecture installation practices through
various disciplines: architecture, interiors, sculpture, and
landscape. Culled from their 2012 exhibition, Architecture in the
Expanded Field, the book presents 65 projects organized into 12
chapters: constructed landscapes, tectonic structures, spatial
distortions, earthworks/land art, etc. The selection of projects is
solid and the presentation is aided greatly by drawings that imbue
even the most artistic projects with architectural qualities."
"In this ambitious book, authors Ila Berman and Douglas Burnham set
out to map this territory with a 'taxonomical framework' defining
12 types of installation, the 'expanded field' of the title.....
More than just an exercise in labeling, Expanded Field is proof
that installations are at the cutting edge of the exploration that
crosses the lines between disciplines. --Azure Magazine
