Hern n D az Alonso, one of today's most influential and innovative architects, heads a multidisciplinary design practice, based in Los Angeles, called HDA-X (formerly Xefirotarch). Praised for its work at the intersection of design, animation, interactive environments, and radical architectural explorations, HDA- X combines these disciplines to create plans for sculptures, architectural ventures, and various objects. Featuring plans for the Helsinki Central Library, a Budapest Museum, and major architectural projects in Barcelona, this book is a spectacular survey of D az Alonso's cutting-edge designs.
With an essay by Benjamin H. Bratton and an interview with D az Alonso, The Surreal Visions of Hern n D az Alonso/HDA-X is perfect for architecture students, teachers, and practitioners, as well as anyone with a passion for design.
