Volume 37 - Is This Not A Pipe. Tube Or Not TubeArchis Foundation 2013 ISBN 9789077966372 Acqn 23178Pb 20x27cm 158pp 125ills 50col 21

Life in buildings is supported by pipes. Ducts, conduits, water mains, and cables supportbiological and social life in spaces that are today held together by air-conditioning, electricity, andtelecommunications as much as by form and materials. But while pipes and the machines theyconnect are part of buildings, they are often left out of architecture. It's fascinating to see howarchitects dealt with pipes in history and what challenges they face today. This issue presents C-lab's research and includes contributions by Mark Wigley, John Hejduk, Kiel Moe, An Te Lui andothers.
