Another Take is a book about the Swiss-American architectural firm agps. Seventeen of the firm’s projects in the USA and Switzerland are presented, among them the Portland Aerial Tram, Dock E at Zurich Airport, the International Union for Conservation of Nature headquarters on Lake Geneva, the adaptive reuse of a historic laundry factory in Zurich, and the Children’s Museum of Los Angeles. The architecture is seen from an everyday perspective. Short stories and essays by various authors draw upon the unique character of each project and reflect on the buildings as they are used. Another narrative strand is provided by the photographs that focus on the life and sometimes messy vitality found within the built works.
