Overview

In this thought-provoking collection of interviews, Vladimir Belogolovsky reflects on nearly 20 years of conversations with leading architects and others, selecting one essential part to form a question-and-answer that would expose the complexity of their thinking process, while comparing and contrasting them to one another, thereby distilling more than 100 ideas. His engaging narrative captures the stories behind every project and every personality while exploring the important question - what makes a building architecture? The selection of interviews gathers many answers but inevitably, also many more questions. This book represents people who work in diverse places culturally and climatically and came of age in very different times - from the revolutionary 1960s to our own time, and as such forms an invaluable reference. AUTHOR: Vladimir Belogolovsky (b. 1970, Odessa, Ukraine) is an American curator and critic. He graduated from the Cooper Union School of Architecture in 1996. After practicing architecture for 12 years, he founded his New York–based Curatorial Project, a nonprofit, which focuses on curating and designing architectural exhibitions worldwide. He writes for Arquitectura Viva (Madrid) and SPEECH (Berlin) and is a columnist on ArchDaily and STIR. He has interviewed over 350 leading international architects and has written 15 books, including China Dialogues (ORO Editions, 2021), Iconic New York (DOM, 2019); Conversations with Peter Eisenman (DOM, 2016); Conversations with Architects (DOM, 2015); Harry Seidler: Lifework (Rizzoli, 2014); and Soviet Modernism: 1955-1985 (TATLIN, 2010). Belogolovsky has curated and produced over 50 international exhibitions. Among these are Architects' Voices Series (World Tour since 2016), world tours on the work of Emilio Ambasz, and Harry Seidler, an American tour on Colombian architecture, Green House exhibition at the Zodchestvo International Architecture Festival in Moscow (2009), and Chess Game exhibition for the Russian Pavilion at the 11th Venice Architecture Biennale.
