The Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize and IIT College of Architecture would like to invite you to join us in a book launch of Being the Mountain, published by the Illinois Institute of Technology College of Architecture & Actar Publishers. The Being the Mountain book launch will be a dynamic conversation between members from PRODUCTORA, IIT students, MCHAP jury members, and contributing authors. Introductions to be made by Reed Kroloff, Dean of IIT College of Architecture, Ricardo Devesa, editor-in-chief of Actar Publishers, and Dirk Denison, MCHAP Director.  Participations by Leslie Johnson, Frank Escher, Fabrizio Gallanti, and Florencia Rodriguez.
Richly illustrated contributions by Carlos Bedoya, Frank Escher, Wonne Ickx, Véronique Patteeuw, and Jesús Vassallo revisit significant moments in architectural history that cast new light on the techniques and legacies of modernism, especially in settings like Mexico and California, where architects such as Ricardo Legorreta and John Lautner incorporated dramatic natural topography in their agendas.
The book launch is taking place on October 14th at 5:00 pm CST via Zoom as part of the IIT College of Architecture Fall 2020 Lecture Series. Broadcasting Live on the ArchDaily Facebook at 5:00 pm CST. The book can be purchased on actar.com

As result of the research PRODUCTORA initiated after winning the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize for Emerging Practice at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Being the Mountain examines the relationship between architecture and the land it occupies, an obvious interaction - a building must touch the ground - that it often remains unexplored. The richly illustrated contributions of Carlos Bedoya, Frank Escher, Wonne Ickx, Véronique Patteeuw, and Jesús Vassallo revisit significant moments in the history of architecture that shed new light on the techniques and legacies of modernism.

Architecture Review Asia Pacific publishes an issue on 'Elements' with an article by PRODUCTORA entitled 'On Archeaology'. A fragment from the text: '... Our appreciation for the archaeology of architecture – and therefore also of archaeology as such- has to do with the very simple fact that this specific discipline (which is, just like architecture, simultaneously a science and a humanity) is entirely focussed on the physical presence of objects. Archaeology –defined in dictionaries as 'the study of material culture'- is therefore also more relevant for pre-history than for history, since the advent of recorded chronicles have displaced to a large amount this urgency of matter. If we consider the elemental part of archaeology, the excavation or the 'dig' (and we leave the speculative interpretations momentarily out) we are simply confronted with the disclosure of objects scattered in space. A numeric tri-dimensional account of items located into the earths crust. Archaeology, in a first instance, is history without words, buildings without rhetoric, space without program. It is architecture as mere matter, retained in a tri-dimensional matrix of dirt. … ' (text: Wonne Ickx). AR135-Elements (Architectural Review Asia Pacific), June 2014, Editor: Michael Holt
