Joel Sanders Architect

Groundwork:

Groundwork: Between Landscape and Architecture maps an interdisciplinary trend over the past ten years of architects and landscape architects undertaking groundbreaking projects that propose an integration of landscape and architecture, dissolving traditional distinctions between building and site. The volume champions a unified practice of landscape and architecture that yields provocative designs that allow built structures and landscapes to perform as linked interactive systems that heal the environment.

New York Times reviews “A Queer History of Fashion”

In the Sept 11 issue of the New York Times, “A Queer History of Fashion: From the Closet to the Catwalk,” an exhibition designed by JSA, was reviewed by Guy Trebay in his article In Search of a Gay Aesthetic. Trebay writes, “To suggest the implicit reciprocal relationship between gay culture and high fashion, Mr. Sanders constructed a white catwalk to display mannequins dressed in high-fashion clothes. Beneath it runs a purple platform for displaying styles associated directly with gay subcultures: fashion’s straight ego and its lavender id. ‘The subcultural planes turn upward,’ disruptively, Mr. Sanders said.”
