Description
This issue of AD looks at the work of Stufish Entertainment Architects. Founded by the late Mark Fisher, the legendary British architect known for his rock music stage sets for bands including the Rolling Stones, U2, and Pink Floyd, the studio is a recognised leader in entertainment architecture.
The Stufish team of architects, designers, visualisers, production managers, technical specialists, and producers creates ambitious and pioneering work, exploring new ways to inspire audiences and visitors. From musical experiences to theatrical shows, exhibitions, and buildings, its work has been synonymous with the key theatrical, musical, and monumental events embodied in the collective memory of generations across the globe since the mid-1990s.
Entertainment architecture is a highly innovative, creative endeavour, producing ever-more elaborate, architectural spectacles. This issue visits the many facets of Stufish – its history and design process, audience memory and experience – exploring the story behind and evolution of this particular brand of popular culture and its spatial manifestations, and touching on what the future may hold for it.
Contributors include: Leonard Auerbach, Victoria Broackes, Peter Cook, Adam Davis, Haidy Geismar, Robert Kronenburg, Theo Lorenz, Ash Nehru, Aubrey Powell, Neil Thomas, Willie Williams, Patrick Woodroffe, and Maciej Woroniecki.

The Allegorical Architectural Machine
The intersection of architecture and the machine has a history that stretches back to the Industrial Revolution; however, the machine has recently begun to appear in new ways in speculative architectural drawing and modelling. This issue of The Allegorical Architectural Machine considers the influence of the machine as an allegorical device for exploring alternative architectural practices, and includes a cross-section...Paperback$7199Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Multispace
Guest-edited by Owen Hopkins Multispace exists at the intersection of the physical and digital, and in the blurring of their previously clear dividing lines. Multispace is not a single space, but a hybrid space where, in effect, we occupy multiple spaces simultaneously.

Production Urbanism
The Industrial Revolution caused a paradigm shift from an agrarian economy to a manufacturing economy, giving birth to the industrial city. City became synonymous with a concentration of factories causing unfiltered scenes between centres of production and urban dwellings. The corrupted image of the city ultimately led to the displacement and separation of production away from residential zones in the...Paperback$7599Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Ghost Stories
It is not without irony that in an age characterised by the dissolution of certainty – a consequence of digital dematerialisation and the catastrophic destabilisation of our social institutions and natural world – architecture, for so long the repository for our myths and the vessel for our intangible narratives and rituals, has been stripped bare. Increasingly preoccupied with the physical,...Paperback$7199Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Green New Deal Landscapes
Given the ongoing climate and socio-ecological emergencies, it is paramount to support a socially just rethinking of the world we inhabit, which is intrinsically dependent on the health of the earth’s systems. This requires a radical transformation of the role of environmental designers in developing propositions, mitigation strategies and advocacy initiatives. This issue of AD explores the principles behind the...Paperback$7599Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Lebbeus Woods: Exquisite Experiments, Early Years
American architect Lebbeus Woods (1940–2012) remains a quiet hero not only among his colleagues, but also for architectural students intrigued by the ideas and fluent beauty of his powerful graphic verve, as well as of his writing. His projects from the mid-1980s until the end of his life have been widely published.

Posthuman Architectures
The Posthuman is the new paradigm of architecture. Encompassing related topics such as the post-Anthropocene, more-than-human, non-human, trans-human, anti-human, and meta-human, this AD presents a synthesis of the architectural Posthuman. Proliferating and diversifying, the Posthuman is now as planetary as it is everyday, and as disruptive, contested, and contradictory as it is sublime. From the detail to the interplanetary, and...Paperback$7199Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Cranbrook Architecture
Guest-edited by Gretchen Wilkins The renowned Cranbrook Architecture, located near Detroit, Michigan, has been described as the epicentre of American Modernism.

In Praise of Penumbra
Guest-edited by Agostino De Rosa, Alessio Bortot and Francesco Bergamo In Praise of Penumbra explores the concept of penumbra, stemming from the Latin paene (almost) and umbra (shadow). It is an intermediate zone of transition between light and shadow. This space, both physical and imaginary, is where everything is possible: it is the place of the uncanny, where presence and/or...Paperback$7199Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Re-Imagining the Avant-Garde
The 1960s and 1970s avant-garde has been likened to an ‘architectural Big Bang’, such was the intensity of energy and ambition in which it exploded into the postwar world. Marked out by architectural projects that redefined the discipline, it remains just as influential today. References to the likes of Archizoom, Peter Eisenman, John Hejduk and Superstudio abound.
