These sophisticated projects go far beyond the standard art for architecture remit  limited as it is to the addition of artworks to already designed buildings  the work described here invites us to rethink the reputation that public art has acquired over the years amongst both the public and the artists themselves. Timely and wide-ranging  \"Art and Architecture\" explores the proliferation of recent pioneering work by both artists and architects that seeks to blur traditional boundaries between the two fields. Looking back to precedents in land and community art by artists from Robert Smithson and Walter de Maria to Mierle Laderman Ukeles and Joseph Beuys  Rendell discusses international projects by artists including Tacita Dean  Krzysztof Wodiczko  Paul Pfeiffer and Rachel Whiteread and architects as varied as Rem Koolhaas  Daniel Libeskind  Diller  Scofidio and Shigeru Ban. She visits site-specific artworks  interventions into existing buildings  galleries operating outside their physical limits and the best of collaborations between the fields. More than a survey  however  \"Art and Architecture\" also draws on the work of thinkers from Walter Benjamin to Michel de Certeau to probe the meanings of place  space and site.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666037923893,"sku":"ByrdShop_1845112229","price":45.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781845112226.jpg?v=1782416301","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/art-and-architecture-a-place-between-9781845112226","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
