Summary: Hilary Sample and Michael Meredith speak with Florian Idenburg in this second of six conversations recorded live at the conference “Making Books Now” on September 15, 2017. The conference was co-organized by Columbia GSAPP and the Chicago Architecture Biennial on the occasion of the Biennial’s opening at the Chicago Cultural Center, and was hosted by GSAPP’s Director of Publications, James Graham. Florian Idenburg, co-founder of SO-IL, and Hilary Sample and Michael Meredith, co-founders of MOS Architects, speak with one another about their respective books Order, Edge, Aura (Lars Müller Publishers, 2017) and Selected Works (Princeton Architectural Press, 2016). “One of the pleasures of doing a book is opening it up to others. ... For me, the great things out of this book were the essays by other writers, not architects … they really affected our work.” – Michael Meredith For more information about the conference: https://www.arch.columbia.edu/events/743-making-books-now-columbia-gsapp-at-the-chicago-architecture-biennial SO-IL: http://so-il.org MOS Architects: http://www.mos.nyc
