The profound connection between architecture and art, and the awe-inspiring beauty it can evoke, has a rich history that spans millennia. From ancient cave paintings to the intricate stained glass and saintly icons found in churches and cathedrals, to the geometric and calligraphic designs of mosques and contemporary artists who draw inspiration from architecture, the interplay between these two artistic disciplines has been a constant source of inspiration. This AD delves into the contemporary interactions between living artists and architects, exploring the artistic practices they adopt to generate ideas for their projects. The issue features a diverse range of artists, architects, curators, musicians, poets, and designer craftspeople, showcasing the current rich mix of architectonic constructions, interventions, and set pieces that range from musical performances to exhibition designs, glass works, and digital 3D scanning. It provides a comprehensive exploration of the wide spectrum and beauty of these sublime correspondences, with contributions from architects about their own artistic practices and creative works viewed through the eyes of architectural commentators. This publication offers a vibrant explosion of color, form, and creative tactics for creating multifaceted architectural works that transcend traditional boundaries. Contributors to this issue include Peter Baldwin, Kathy Battista, Nic Clear, Mathew Emmett, Paul Finch, Paul Greenhalgh, Hamed Khosravi, Eva Menuhin, Felix Robbins, and Simon Withers. Featured architects and artists include a-project, Captivate, Brian Clarke, Andy Goldsworthy, Barbara Hepworth, Danny Lane, Ben Johnson, Brendan Neiland, Ian Ritchie, and Zoe Zenghelis.
