This book documents two realized buildings and two competition entries for contemporary art museums. All four projects continue a line of design research that began with the publication of Field Conditions in 1996. All of the projects
published here work with strategies of serial aggregation, part to whole relationships, and a geometric language that recalls
a crystalline geological form. The projects are documented in detail through drawings, diagrams, photographs, and study models. The projects are augmented with new writings by Stan Allen concerning the original ideas in Field Conditions as well as commentary on and critiques of the work.
