pNot new, but definitely notable: emSiteless: 1001 Building Forms/em, by Architect Franccedil;ois Blanciak, was released to the academic architecture community for a little while now, but, after rediscovering it this morning on a href=”http://jacketmechanical.blogspot.com/2010/03/blanciak.html”Jacket Mechanical/a and a href=”http://blog.linedandunlined.com/post/482728153/saturated-with-forms”Lined and Unlined/a, we realized it has wide resonance and wanted to share it here./p

pThough the book is meant as a catalog of siteless building forms, all hand drawn from the same perspective, this book is relevant for formal thinkers at any scale, from sculptors to industrial designers. In particular, we’re wondering how this book might mix with interaction design and tangible interfaces: What would the pigtail towers do when combined with some flex sensors, for example? /p

pIf nothing else, the book sidesteps the often opaque written dialogue of architecture (just sayin’) and presents itself visually, accessible to a wide audience. /p
