Further to IP2100 being exhibited at the 2010 Venice Biennale, the project features in a new book Infrastructure as Architecture,  edited by our collaborators Scott Lloyd and Katrina Stoll.  It’s a great read,  filled with essays and projects from international contributors including  Urban think tank, CityLAB, Stan Allen Architect, Bureau E.A.S.T, MVRDV, Keller Easterling, and Australia’s Simon Sellars – to name a few.

Infrastructure has played a key role in dramatically reformatting the built fabric and spatial reserves within the past one hundred years, and will continue to do so in the future. The involvement of architects is necessary to shape the development of infrastructural design.

Infrastructure as Architecture contains a selection of influential architects and writers who have critically evaluated the coupling of these fields through essays and projects. The book is structured by five organizing themes that frame the diverse approaches to the subject, namely: Infrastructure Economy, Infrastructure Ecology, Infrastructure Culture, Infrastructure Politics, and Infrastructure Space/Networks.
