Summary note
This text invites readers into the author's creative process as he documents his most innovative projects in art, architecture, and bridge design. This book outlines more than a dozen international projects and five theoretical chapters that embody the notion of Crossover which Balmond describes as the movement between Metaphor and Substance through Pattern. Navigating between the ideal and the pragmatic, Balmond creates balance between the poetic and the essential. Crossover presents Balmond s thoughts and musings and charts his conceptual journey from the original fleeting idea to finished product. Photographs, drawings, and plans for each project accompany never seen before journal notes, sketches, and in-depth commentary. The book includes the Weave Bridge at the University of Pennsylvania ; the Serpentine Gallery Pavilions at London s Kensington Gardens ; ArcelorMittal Orbit at the site of the London 2012 Olympics; and the world renowned CCTV tower in Beijing.
Notes
"Balmond's sequel to Informal includes projects with Anish Kapour, Toyo Ito, Rem Koolhaas, plus art projects, exhibitions, and theory essays"--Page [4] of cover.
