Description

Open Building Research by Paolo Brescia and Tommaso Principi presents a unique approach to architecture that engages with various disciplines. Founded as a design network between Milan, London, and Mumbai, OBR explores new modes of contemporary living, creating buildings that respond sensitively to their environment while adapting to the changing needs of society. This monograph showcases 24 international projects by OBR, addressing key social issues through the medium of architecture. The architects engage in transdisciplinary dialogues with influential people from different fields, questioning the autonomy of architecture and offering new perspectives on its potential and relevance. Through a selection of texts, plans, and photographs, this book provides insight into OBR's work as a communal endeavor, promoting a sense of community while enhancing individual identities.
