This lavishly illustrated collection features designers and projects that push the boundaries of art and architecture. Architecture: Art explores the disparate ways in which contemporary artists and architects handle the blurring lines between their disciplines. Contemporary art often oversteps the limits of its traditional concepts and modes of presentation, increasingly moving into virtual and actual spaces. Similarly, many of today's architects depart from the principles of classical modernism and historical models to integrate artistic concepts into the design and construction of their buildings. The book highlights the most exciting examples of these interdisciplinary activities, from Zaha Hadid's Guggenheim Museum in Taichung, Taiwan to Richard Meier's Jubilee Church in Rome, Italy, and from Hiroshi Sugimoto's Go'o Shrine to Richard Serra's Torqued Ellipses. Profiles of the featured artists and architects are included, along with an introductory essay elucidating the historical foundations from which architecture and art have coevolved to the present day.

Library Journal Review

This photographic pilgrimage to 64 sites explores intersections and collaborations between contemporary public art and architecture. Prolific contemporary critic and historian Jodidio-who has written recently on Renzo Piano and Tadao Ando-opens with a substantial essay on the philosophical underpinnings and historical antecedents of artist-architect collaborations, including some notable failures. Most of the book presents installations and sculpture associated with cutting-edge architecture drawn from the past 20 years or so, from Richard Serra's Torqued Ellipses in Germany and Los Angeles to Zaha Hadid's Guggenheim Museum in Taiwan to Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate and Jaume Plensa's Crown Fountain in Chicago's new Millennium Park. Artists and architects are briefly introduced, along with the purpose and effects of their collaborations, which often capture an entire city's imagination. Photos effectively document the projects' coevolution within surrounding architecture; a separate index includes geographic places. Highly recommended for contemporary art, architecture, urbanism, and cultural history collections.-Russell T. Clement, Northwestern Univ. Lib., Evanston, IL (c) Copyright 2010.

Publishers Weekly Review

The title of this book calls to mind the analogy portion of a standardized test, implying a relationship between art and architecture and the increasingly fuzzy line between the two. It?s far from a new concept, something this book partially makes up for by providing dazzling photographs of artistically impressive architecture, including Richard Meier?s Jubilee Church in Rome and a Santiago Calatrava-designed planetarium in Spain. There?s also a heavy dose of architecture-themed art such as ?Sitting on the Wall ? Shenzen 1,? by Weng Fen, a depiction of a girl looking at tall, imposing skyscrapers in China; and Andreas Gursky?s ?Shanghai,? a rendition of an imposingly monolithic hotel lobby. ?The number of examples that could be chosen to illustrate the intimate links between art and architecture throughout history is almost limitless,? the author writes. ?Indeed, there may be as many ways to define this relationship as there are cases in point.? But the narrow mix of works collected (architecture that is especially artistic, or art that involves architecture), though visually appealing, offers little new to readers studied on contemporary architecture. 300 illustrations.

CHOICE Review

This brilliant book summarizes about 20 years' worth of architectural projects that rest on an artistic bearing, as opposed to mere functionalist justification or revivalist taste. Jodidio, a well-known architectural writer, edited the famous book series "Architecture Now" and served as editor in chief of one of France's leading art magazines, Connaissance des Arts. Whether hard-edge geometric or soft-focus organic, sculpturally or photographically based, technological or phenomenological, virtually all the projects here take off from cubism, the first art movement to transpose the techniques and strategies of the industrial world into the art world. This book will long stand as a very useful worldwide survey of the conjunction of art and architecture after the revolution of postmodernism. It will be useful not only for design students, but also for art students and the general public. An excellent introduction and course resource. ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended. All levels. P.
