Author: Day, Joe
In this comprehensive survey of his writing to date, Los Angeles–based designer and architectural theorist Joe Day (born 1967), who leads Deegan-Day Design LLC and serves on the design and history/theory faculty at SCI-Arc, examines the intersections of architecture, contemporary art and urbanism as interdependent visual and spatial disciplines. Including pieces for both academic and general readership, letters, reviews, public addresses and responses, Essays offers a full account of Day’s 30-year critical development, and a revealing look at LA’s built environment and intellectual climate at the turn of the millennium.
Organized in three chronological sequences—“Transgressions,” “Situations” and “Reactions”—this collection begins with nominalist observations on art and architecture, then turns to writing on cities, and concludes with responses to major works and figures including Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman, Mike Davis and Rosalind Krauss, as well as many more recent protagonists.
ISBN 9781941753996. Inventory Press. pb. 392 pages. 63 colour, 16 b/w ills. 24.1 x 14 cm.
