<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Their work has been described as experimental, willfully strange, and generally off-kilter, qualities front-and-center in their recent collection Everything All at Once. In just ten years Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample have established MOS as one of the leading young architecture practices in the country. MOS, the first monograph on the built work of the New York-based firm, follows the design studio's evolution from their earliest works to their most celebrated houses and institutional buildings. The thirty projects featured range from the sophisticated to the absurd--from the serene Floating House in Ontario, Canada, and the sustainable Kathmandu Orphanage in Nepal to the playful puppet theater at Harvard's Carpenter Center and the appropriately named Rainbow Vomit installation in New York, a digital, interactive, computational heap of building blocks in a constant state of near collapse. The collection also includes a selection of the couple's unorthodox writings, including their satirical "Office Policy" employee manual"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Their work has been described as experimental and innovative, qualities front-and-center in their previous collection <i>Everything All at Once</i>. In just ten years, Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample have established MOS as one of the leading young architecture practices in the country. <i>Selected Works</i>, the first monograph on the built work of the New York-based firm, follows the design studio's evolution from their earliest works to their most celebrated houses and institutional buildings. The thirty-two projects featured range from the sophisticated to the absurd--from the serene Floating House in Ontario, Canada, and the sustainable Kathmandu Orphanage in Nepal to the playful puppet theater at Harvard's Carpenter Center and the appropriately named Rainbow Vomit installation in New York, a digital, interactive, computational heap of building blocks in a constant state of near collapse. The collection also includes a selection of the couple's unorthodox writings, including their satirical Office Policy employee manual.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>While Selected Works can be seen as that missing piece, it's still far removed from a traditional monograph, which collects projects through photographs, drawings, models and descriptive text, putting them alongside an essay or two by outside critics. These ingredients are all here, but the way they are shaped and combined is wholly unique and just as satisfying as their first book. - A Daily Dose of Architecture<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Michael Meredith is an assistant professor at Princeton University; Hilary Sample is an associate professor at Columbia University. In 2010, they received an Academy Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
