From Education to Application: The Virginia Tech Honors College
Scaling Transdisciplinary from Blacksburg to Venice Biennale
Authors: Anne-Lise K. Velez, Enric Ruiz-Geli

A transdisciplinary journey from Virginia Tech to the Venice Biennale,
this book showcases collaborative, student-led projects from the Virginia Tech Honors College addressing real-world challenges across time, sectors, and scales.

UnEarthed: Scaling Transdisciplinary from Blacksburg to the Biennale is a groundbreaking chronicle highlighting Virginia Tech’s commitment to transdisciplinary education while providing students international exposure and a platform for critical global conversations. It documents the process and content of the 2025 Biennale Architettura exhibit unEarthed / Second Nature / PolliNATION presented by the VT Honors College in collaboration with Cloud 9 and Joba Studio. The volume features projects from VT Honors students, Cloud 9, and collaborators representing diverse viewpoints and values aligned with the event’s collective intelligence theme.

This book arrives at a crucial moment to discuss the permeability between sectors and scales and the need to work across time, regions, and values
to reestablish balance between humans and nature. Through transdisciplinary education and design, it seeks to build a foundation for ecological and cultural preservation by unEarthing solutions to the planet’s most critical challenges.

Cedric Price Works 1952–2003

Samantha HardinghamA Forward-Minded Retrospective by Samantha Hardingham is a two-volume anthology,

A Forward Minded Retrospective Cedric Price Works 1952-2003: A Forward-Minded Retrospective by Samantha Hardingham is a two-volume anthology, co-published by the Architectural Association (AA) and the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), and is supported by the Graham Foundation and the Cedric Price Estate. The books bring together for the first time all of the projects, articles and talks of British architect Cedric Price, aiming to present his munificence as thinker, philosopher and designer. A student at the AA in the 1950s, Price established his office in London in 1960 and went on to produce some of architecture's most intensely imaginative and experimental projects of the latter half of the 20th century. His work is central in defining architectural discourse around the emerging postwar themes of mobility and indeterminacy in design. With the contributions of Eleanor Bron, Brett Steele, Mirko Zardini Supported by The Cedric Price Estate and The Graham Foundation, 2016. Recipient of The Festival

RCR at Centre Pompidou

Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem, Ramon VilaltaSeven projects by RCR arquitectes, 2017 Pritzker Prize winner, which are seven folded posters inside a folder with a textbook.

Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem, Ramon Vilalta Recognition of RCR's work in France with an exhibition including a selection of 7 projects, ranging from the first competition they won at the Punta Aldea Lighthouse to the last works still to be built in Paris, Île Seguin and the Vide Pavilion. The journey through the space was made through a sensory experience -with sound, lighting and video-, extended with the artistic collaboration of the duo CaboSanRoque. The trajectory of RCR Arquitectes has been especially recognized in France: named Chevalier and Officier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres 2008 and 2014 respectively, the Académie d'Architecture awarded the Gold Medal to Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem and Ramon Vilalta the 2015, two years before receiving the Pritzker Prize. There is no doubt that the buildings produced by RCR Arquitectes encourage experience: to cross, to land, to take the time, to observe, to feel. Everyone at their

MIAS Architects at Centre Pompidou

Josep MiàsAs a kid who wanted to be an architect you could either make clay shapes, drag pieces of driftwood into vague boxes - or put together Meccano cages.

Josep Miàs Tracing through the pieces being published, you sense that Josep Mias is essentially a man who takes strips and edges and develops them into meshes, and then maybe combs, and then maybe honeycombs with a conspicuously boyish delight in making the sketch, the linear diagram, the scale model and the built building. Underlying the apparently fearless is a sense of what can fly, swing, lurch, lean or rest: in other words the composite that makes something possible to be as it is in space. With contributions of Peter Cook EBOOK VERSION

Andrea Branzi (ENG ED.)

Elisa C. CattaneoFrom radical research to contemporary design, this book collects Andrea Branzi’s work about city-design and a new opportunity to interpret and anticipate the next dynamics of society

E=mc2 The Project in the Age of Relativity Andrea Branzi, Elisa C. Cattaneo From radical research to contemporary design, this book collects Andrea Branzi’s work about city-design and a new opportunity to interpret and anticipate the next dynamics of society. Territories that are conceptual categories, through spaces that are offered up by reality such that design can act and perform cognitively: in this sense, the city becomes a critical concept capable of overcoming its own image. Each passage presents a precise anthropological articulation: from the concept of commodity civilization of the Sixties to that of immateriality, from the concept of the metropolis to that of the anthropological territory, in which the infinitely small and the immensely large coincide, to the point of generating and passing beyond our commonly held concept of the city. The publication begins from the Andrea Branzi’s reflection on the relationship civility-design, from the Radical's research on mass-production civilization to the "infinite territories", proposing new territories able to

UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT FOR CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE (ENG ED.)

Beatrice Lampariello, Andrea Anselmo, Boris Hamzeian (eds.)"UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT for contemporary architecture" is the first monographic publication focused on the Florentine UFO group (1968-1978)

UFO’s Experiments between Political Activism and the Artistic Avant-garde Beatrice Lampariello, Andrea Anselmo, Boris Hamzeian (eds.) The contemporary context is defined by a unique conjuncture. On one hand, we witness the revival of the Radical Architecture that from the avant-garde experiments of the origins recovers creative processes and iconographic fragments while nullifying the original ideological and political values. On the other hand, we see social protests in defense of fundamental rights of democracy, as in 1968. With these premises, Architecture is now reinvestigating those ephemeral experiments that have endured half a century as new “stone monuments” capable of indicating new perspectives for both research and design. Placing UFO group, one of the authors of those still poorly known “monuments”, at the core of the contemporary debate means investigating their formal and seductive aspects, but also the ideological, political and social values with which objects, installations and happenings have been innervated, transforming them into
