Includes a visual essay on the human body. Organised by themes in turn figurative and abstract, organic and mechanical, immaterial and ultra-material, this work contains different views to conjure seven alternative visions of the flesh in the age of meta-mechanical reproduction.
--from AD 2011/July & August
George L Legendre’s fusion of design, mathematics and computation took off
in print starting with IJP: The Book of Surfaces (AA Publications, 2003). Part
publisher’s spread and part mathematical surface, this playful manifesto was closely
followed by the Henderson Waves project (2004–8), in which his newly minted,
eponymous office IJP deployed similar principles to design and tender the tallest
pedestrian bridge in Southeast Asia. The contractor borrowed the book’s original
notation to identify the project’s parts – bridging the gap between theory and
practice. Since graduating from Harvard, Legendre’s work has been defined by the
full-time decade he spent in academia. An Assistant Professor of Architecture at
the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) from his mid-20s, he has been a
visiting professor at ETH Zurich and Princeton University, and master of Diploma
Unit 5 at the London-based Architectural Association School of Architecture,
where he undertook for eight years (alongside Lluís Viu Rebès) the intense
educational experiments for which the place was famed. He returned to Harvard in
2008 as a visiting design critic before being appointed Adjunct Associate Professor.
Freely inspired by analytic mathematics, computer programming, the literary
pranks of Oulipo and other less highbrow forms of automatic writing, the work
of IJP is closely identified with the emergent computational avant-garde. While
cherishing this brotherly affiliation, IJP’s attachment to traditional values of
instrumentation and artistic probity has been equally important. To date the
office has won a competition to cover a central London street with glass (with
Adams Kara Taylor), and completed Henderson Waves (with RSP) in Singapore.
In 2011, the practice was a finalist of the MoMA-PS1 design competition. The
influential weekly Building Design recently elected the firm as one of the top five
practices in the UK led by principals under the age of 40. The work of the firm has
been featured on the cover of AA Files, the RIBA Journal, Mondo Arc Perspective +
and Icon Magazine among others. A regularly published lecturer and essayist, in
addition to IJP: The Book of Surfaces, Legendre is also the author of Bodyline: the
End of our Meta-Mechanical Body (AA Publications, 2006) and a critical essay, ‘JP’s
Way’, in Mohsen Mostafavi’s Mathematical Form: John Pickering and the Architecture
of the Inversion Principle (AA Publications, 2006). His next research piece, Pasta
by Design (see pp 100–1 of this issue) will be published by Thames & Hudson in
September 2011.
