Glass Ramps/Glass Wall: Deviations from the Normative

by Bernard Tschumi, Hugh Dutton, Jesse Reiser

Overview

Tschumi's Alfred Lerner Hall is a turbulent mixture of the conventional and the innovative. In the words of Jesse Reiser, Alfred Lerner Hall 'signals a crucial turning point in Tschumi's oeuvre. While a legacy of built and unbuilt works beginning with the Manhattan Transcripts prioritised the programmatic as an irreducible condition to architecture, Lerner Hall inverts this logic, foregrounding physicality instead.' Glass Ramps/Glass Wall documents in full the making of this complex building, from early concept sketches to structural diagrams and final construction photos.
