Product details

The book "Never Modern" offers an in-depth analysis of the London architecture firm 6a Architects, known for its innovative projects such as the South London Gallery and the new fashion galleries at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Authors Stephanie Macdonald and Tom Emerson explore how the architects integrate narrative elements, history, and appropriation into their work. Rather than focusing on a specific style, they adopt a pre-modern approach characterized by Metis – a combination of wisdom, ingenuity, and experience. The book also includes a visual essay featuring archival photographs, artworks, and current projects that illustrate the creative bricolage of 6a's architecture. It demonstrates how the architects utilize everyday objects and historical references to create new and vibrant spaces. "Never Modern" was nominated for the CICA Bruno Zevi Book Award in 2014 and is an essential work for anyone interested in contemporary architecture and its cultural contexts.
