Product Description
Product Description
Earth Moves, Bernard Cache's first major work, conceptualizes a series of architectural images as vehicles for two important developments. First, he offers a new understanding of the architectural image itself. Following Gilles Deleuze and Henri Bergson, he develops an account of the image that is nonrepresentational and constructive--images as constituents of a primary, image world, of which subjectivity itself is a special kind of image. Second, Cache redefines architecture beyond building proper to include cinematic, pictoral, and other framings.Complementary to this classification, Cache offers what is to date the only Deleuzean architectural development of the "fold," a form and concept that has become important over the last few years. For Cache, as for Deleuze, what is significant about the fold is that it provides a way to rethink the relationship between interior and exterior, between past and present, and between architecture and the urban.

Format:Paperback
An essential read for anyone interested in the object and its status. Cache takes from Deleuze and his own thoughts and through a series of projects explores such concepts as territory, image, inflection and subjectile/objectile. Essentially a furniture designer and architect, Cache weaves the book full of concepts that lead to your own speculations: '...inhabiting a substance whose curvature constantly reverses itself..' [p.126] or '...surfaces of propagation' [p.142]. For his furniture Cache uses current computer assisted manufacturing techniques on timber laminate which shows the contours of an undulation beautifully.

spatial thinking in flattened space
27 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
i found this text to be a significant resource in thinking about practice and design, and their blending of intentions. using furniture as a medium for thinking about architectural space, the author identifies methodologies of investigation that are forward but readable. this book is not about furniture, it is about spatial movement, its architecture in the broad sense of spatiality. its a good resource for anyone interested in layering, trans-anything, and folding concepts.
