Who is Architecture: The 2009 Domus China Interviews
Conversations on the Borders of Building
Edited by Brendan McGetrick. Text by Mark Wigley, Barry Bergdoll, Michael Rock, Lu Zhenggang.
Architecture is a collaborative art, calling on the efforts of not only architects but also engineers, developers, plumbers, electricians and others. The production process must balance individual empowerment and general management to allow for meaningful dialogue between diverse professionals. Who Is Architecture explores these interactions through ten interviews with professionals who contribute to architecture in various ways. Conducted by the acclaimed writer and editor Brendan McGetrick, and originally published as a series for the Chinese edition of Domus magazine, these conversations illustrate the many facets of architectural practice. Interview subjects include: Michael Rock (Founder of the graphic design firm 2x4), Lu Zhenggang (Founder of the digital rendering company Crystal CG), Barry Bergdoll (Curator of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art, New York), Mark Wigley (Dean of Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation) and Tan Xiaochun (Chief of Construction for China's National Stadium).
