Organized into stories of expertise, exchange, and export, the \u003ci\u003eAgenda\u003c\/i\u003e frames the narratives that have projected the organizational structures and branded identity of U.S. architecture firms internationally from 1914-2014. The \u003ci\u003eAgenda\u003c\/i\u003e includes thirteen essays of original scholarship, including Barry Bergdoll, Beatriz Colomina, Jorge Otero-Pailos and Keller Easterling. OfficeUS, the U.S. Pavilion for the 2014 International Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia, reframes the history of U.S. architecture through the lens of export in two interrelated constructs: \"The Office\" and \"The Repository\". The Repository presents 1000 projects designed by 200 US offices working abroad in a chronological archive of the last 100 years. Collectively these projects tell multiple, imbricated stories of U.S. firms, typologies, and technologies, as well as a broader narrative of modernization and its global reach. The Office engages these projects, revisiting their premises and conclusions over the course of the Biennale. It functions as a laboratory staffed by a diverse group of resident design partners collaborating with outpost offices and a rotating cast of visiting experts. Together, these two halves of OfficeUS create both an historical record of the U.S. contribution to global architectural thought, and a petri dish in which that record is submitted to contemporary agents of disruption and critique.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46323001491607,"sku":"9783037784372","price":2921.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783037784372.webp?v=1767714013","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/officeus-agenda-9783037784372","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
