News Ammar Eloueini’s book is published
Associate Professor Ammar Eloueini’s impressive new monograph of his work, entitled “Digital Recall”, has been recently published and should be available in the US very soon. The book is part of the “Design Document Series” and is the 26th in that series which includes volumes on the work of Greg Lynn, Ben van Berkel, Asymptote and many other important practitioners. It contains essays by Neil Spiller and former Dean Reed Kroloff, as well as extensive and elegant documentation of more than two dozen projects by AEDS.
Ammar Eloueini was among the first to begin his creative exploration with a grounded education in CNC manufacturing processes. Beginning with simple principles of two-dimensional templates and building to more complex three-dimensional compound joinery; he has developed a personal signature, a technical expertise and new formal and material sensibilities that is coherent and rigorous.
Happily, Ammar is not experimenting and relying on happy accidents as many designers were a decade ago. He is among a new generation of architects who are building a repertoire of linked design and fabrication techniques that are leading towards a very provocative, personal and innovative architectural and spatial vocabulary.
