Synopsis

Weirdest Architectural Designs explores the fascinating world of unconventional buildings, delving into structures that challenge our understanding of design and engineering. It examines the "why" behind these creations, highlighting innovative thinking, cultural context, and technological advancements. The book showcases how architects and engineers are constantly seeking new ways to interact with our environment, often leading to sustainable solutions and unique cultural statements. For example, some designs appear to defy gravity, while others play with our spatial perception, demonstrating the power of architectural innovation.

 
The book progresses through fundamental concepts of unconventional design and then presents detailed case studies categorized by themes such as structures that defy gravity, buildings that challenge spatial perception, and designs that embody cultural eccentricity. Each case study includes a historical overview, an analysis of architectural features, and an explanation of the engineering principles involved. This approach, combined with architectural plans and photographs, offers readers a comprehensive understanding of these unique buildings.

 
Ultimately, the book argues that these seemingly illogical structures are testaments to human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of innovation.

Right This Way - A History of...

Robert Viagas

When you sit down at a play, movie, or concert—or even in front of the TV or scrolling on your phone—you are taking part in one of the oldest and most mysterious forms of human behavior. Being part of an audience is an age-old experience that we all crave, one that has evolved from amphitheaters to screens. Right This Way is a pop history of audiences through the ages. Playbill editor Robert Viagas unfolds the unique aspects of what he calls “audiencing” with stories from the age of the Greeks to the world of Zoom. He walks through the different types of audiences and the history of their responses, what science has to say about how our brains respond to what they see and the reactions of the people around them, and why, during COVID-19, people risked a deadly virus to be part of a crowd. Right This Way explores what the audience experience brings us and how it may evolve in the 21st century.

The Uninvited - On The Road With...

Steven Vance Taylor

In 1998, The Uninvited were poised to become the next multi-platinum darlings of the new millennia. With a hit song burning up the charts and a major label release described as “The breakthrough album of the next decade,” everything was teed-up for a life of sold-out arenas, gold plated Ferraris and Dom Perrion on draft. But the chances are you never heard of The Uninvited – so what the hell happened?  
THE UNINVITED: ON THE ROAD WITH THE GREATEST ROCK BAND YOU NEVER HEARD is the story of 5 friends stuffed in a van on a Homer-esque nationwide odyssey, clinging desperately to a gossamer thread of one-hit-wonder fame while sharing the stage with legends like Cheap Trick, Blues Traveler, The Violent Femmes, Chris Isaak, and many more.   
For two sweat-drenched and mind-altering years, The Uninvited had fame by the tender bits and squeezed hard. And for Steve, just when it looked like life couldn’t get any better, it did; Mia, so achingly unattainable for so many years, landed squarely in the attainable category. But all these dreams collided in a rush to come true, threatening to unravel everything, just when he held it all in his hand.  
THE UNINVITED is a chaotic tale set in the early days of Napster and the last days of Warehouse Records on Sunset Blvd. It’s a memoir for anyone who’s ever cranked the volume up on Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins, or stood in the audience singing their lungs out, and wondering what life is like on the other side of that stage. Unlike any other rock memoir, THE UNINVITED chronicles the harrowing sacrifice necessary to attain a dream – and more importantly, what it takes to let it go.    
And there was a gnome, too. He was kind of an asshole.
