"Extra-ordinary" is edited by Peripheriques/IN-EX project, the group of young architects based in Paris who also edited the successful publication 36 Propositions for a Home. The theme which runs through all of the chapters is that of the unusual, the extraordinary found in ordinary architecture. The first chapter consists of a photo documentary by the Parisian art photographer Cecile on so-called "normal" interiors in everyday use. This is followed by a sensational documentation on anonymous architecture in Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. Anonymous in this context refers to building without an architect, and the topics examined include Do-it-Yourself, the many aspects of the banal and building outside the city. The third chapter presents a selection of mostly unpublished buildings and projects from younger architects who all received an ordinary commission but who all produced extraordinary results. The editors regard the present publication as a conscious attempt to combine book and review, providing an unconventional and youthful approach to today's architectural scene.
