{"product_id":"dxa-nyc","title":"DXA NYC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe building of a city is an ongoing, additive act of creativity. Urban centres are continually made and remade. They are palimpsests of the values, technologies, ingenuity, and aesthetics of a time that precedes ours and was vital in creating our present. To evolve, it is incumbent upon designers to find ways to preserve this past while shaping a rich and resilient ecosystem for the future. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis monograph explores the deep, inextricable relationship between the unique past and future potential of architecture that defines DXA’s practice. The book presents 14 projects that embrace history as a critical influence: they use New York City as a laboratory to implement this unique approach, acknowledging contexts and constraints as constructive rather than restrictive. The work seeks to foster a dialogue between generations, shaping good design that brings value and a sense of belonging. Integral to its time and place, such architecture offers a distinctive identity, clarity, and timelessness to the urban fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe through line connecting the projects is DXA’s interest in the transformative power of architecture. When well-conceived and expertly crafted, buildings can be more than the sum of their materials. They activate the city in a meaningful way and can change entire neighbourhoods, serving as a catalyst for growth and vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether designing carefully considered ground-up buildings or adapting older buildings for new life, building on history is a fundamental base for contemporary practice. This belief has set DXA apart as a practice with an extensive portfolio of completed work in New York, as well as informs the studio’s ongoing work in metropolitan areas throughout the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oro Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54229476245848,"sku":"9781951541903","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781951541903_4684917c-9cf7-492b-a268-e5c4f7197611.jpg?v=1765952143","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dxa-nyc","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
