This book is the expanded edition of the publication 'THIS IS HYBRID. An analysis of mixed-use buildings' by a+t research group. Taking its inspiration from the four issues of a+t magazine's Hybrid series, the book takes a look at the theories and projects which have had the greatest historical importance.
Steven Holl prefaces the book with a prologue specially for this compilation where he foresees the path which hybrid typologies should take towards the creation of urban spaces in the 21st Century.
Research on new prototypes, conducted by Iñaki Ábalos at AAP-Cornell GSD-Harvard and BIArch-Barcelona completes this volume in which reality is closer to utopia.
