Young Architects 9: Proof (Young Architects)

__Proof__ is the ninth in an annual series of publications that features the best young practicing architects as selected by the Architectural League of New York in their annual Young Architects competition. Competition entrants wereasked to use the theme "proof" to frame their portfolios and critically evaluate their work. This required creating projectsthat acknowledge architectural design as a unique process that begins with a speculation and gains traction through the subsequent testing, confirming, checking, and rechecking that occurs before and after designs encounter the real world. Eachof the winners—Aranda/Lasch, Jinhee Park, ludens, PARA, PRODUCTORA, and Uni Architecture—confronted this year's theme with work that is original, and inspiring. The Six Young Firms Presented In Proof Demonstrates The Complexity Of Architectural Design As Both Process And Product, Where Speculation And Hypothesis Lead To Subsequent Testing, Confirming, Checking, And Rechecking. Their Inventive Works - Ranging From Products That Blur The Lines Between Craft And Computation To Human-body Scaled Interventions In The Urban Landscape To A Design-build Condominium Compound Where The Architects Function As Owner, Developer, Architect, And Contractor - Are Laboratories For Testing Unique And Unexpected Design Strategies. Proof Is The Ninth In An Annual Series Of Publications That Feature Exceptional Work By The Talented Winners Of The Architectural League's Annual Young Architects Competition.--jacket.
