PLAT 8.0: SIMPLICITY





PLAT 8.0: Simplicity
What We Talk About When We Talk About Simplicity

Text Green and Blue and White All Over by John Capen Brough.
about CELINÈ Flagship Store Miami by Valerio Olgiati.
Photographs by Mikael Olsson.

PLAT is an independent architectural journal whose purpose is to stimulate relationships between design, production, and theory.

The collection of articles, projects, and images in this issue of PLAT operates in this clearing. Our contributors explore simplicity in a variety of historical and contemporary instances. Subjects range from normalizations of digital tools to inattention and climate change, gaps in images and realities, building materials of past and present, modernism and bureaucratic scientification, and the anxieties of excess. Also included are a handful of offices working through their ideas and images. Finally, the issue is organized as a kind of mirror and at its center is another book, Il fera beau demain by Anne Lacaton and Jean Philippe Vassal, originally published in 1995, included here because of its relevance to the subject and inspirational beauty.

320 pages
