through the
eyes of Shigeru Ban Pallasmaa
J. & Sato T.
A century after his birth, renewed interest has been generated in
Finnish
architect Alvar Aalto, inspiring various exhibitions around the world
that
re-examine and celebrate the works of a master of modern architecture.
A long
awaited publication produced from an exhibition at the Barbican in London, guest
curated by
Shigeru Ban, this is a unique perspective into Alvar Aalto from an
architect of
a different generation, culture, economic and technical background.
Aalto’s
architecture transcends all aesthetic perceptions as Ban acknowledges
the late
architect’s architectural visions and design philosophy. Ban also
highlights
the growing relevance of Aalto’s balance of natural materials and
modern
technology in today’s environmentally conscious society, reasserting
the
potential of design to better the conditions of human life. In
photographs,
drawings, interviews and surveying architectural projects, furniture
and
objects selected by Ban, this publication concludes with three essays

Max Bill's work as a painter, sculptor, graphic designer, theorist and
educator has been widely publicized, especially since his death in
1994. The same thing hasn't occurred with his work as an architect,
notwithstanding Max Bill's own lifelong commitment to this facet of his
creative undertaking. Peter Smithson classified Bill as a "silent
architect" from the second-generation of the Modern Movement because
despite the importance of his oeuvre it didn't get the recognition it
deserved. This publication brings all of Max Bill's architectural work

Joachim Brohm undertook a photo-urban project of long-term observation.
For roughly a decade, from 1992-2002, he took photographs of the same
location-on the outskirts of a German city-as it was being redeveloped
from a 1950's commercial/industrial district into a gentrified
post-industrial services centre & living area. In a meditative
return, Brohm cartographically captured the premises, their buildings
& materials, & chronologically documented the changes &
developments during this period. His photographs simultaneously depict
& dissolve the outside world, lending the transitory, hovering
state of reality & meaning a powerful pictorial form. Steidl Verlag

Burle Marx: The Lyrical
Landscape Montero, Marta Iris
(Foreword by Martha Schwartz)
Roberto Burle Marx was unquestionably one of the most influential
landscape and garden designers of the twentieth century. His sweeping
forms and painterly approach to planting were revolutionary when they
first came to public attention in the 1930's, and many designs today
owe his vision a great debt. At a time when landscape design is more
lively and important than ever, this tribute to a master of popular
modern design is destined to inspire gardens, landscapes and outdoor
spaces in same way it will inspire the reader of the finely written and
detailed text. Thames and Hudson, UK, 2001, 208pp, HB $A 105.00

Calatrava's doctoral thesis which combines the varying disciplines of
engineering, mathematics and architecture. In the second volume,
"sketchbooks", three of Calatrava's key sketch books are presented,
capturing the essence of his experimental, biomorphic, surreal,
metaphorical and analogical thought processes. In this publication, the
editors, examine the hypothesis that both analytical and analogical
creative tendencies are evident in Calatrava's works. These volumes
provide a unique glimpse into the mind of this architect where both
opposites seem to form a rare synthesis, producing works of the highest

Essays on Space and Science. Weibel, Peter Ed.
"This book is an innovative project, because the exclusivity with which
art theory and art criticism are renounced renders possible a new
alliance between science and art, and documents how the two as parallel
worlds, cross over into each other with equal justification and do not
exist as divided cultures. As a result you have in front of you a book
which not only offers an almost encyclopedic insight into science and
the terrains of its problems such as space, but also the implicated
problematics of the most topical contemporary art, which is orieNted to

2G: Foreign Office
Architects
"Architecture is not a
plastic art, but the engineering of material life". FOA has been
compared to practices such as Reiser + Umemoto, Greg Lynn, UNStudio and
others. Principle in the methodology is the desire to 'hyperindex'
their buildings and design process - blending program upon program and
information upon information, to end up with superfluid and alchemical
results. Includes works and projects including the Belgo Restaurant
Designs, and the in-progress Yokohama Ferry Terminal project. 2G,

Phylogenesis: FOA’S ARK Foreign office architects
This is a structured reflection of the
work that Foreign Office Architects (FOA) has produced during its first
10 years of practice. With its genesis as a primarily speculative &
academic endeavour, FOA has recently expended much energy in the
development of a technical arsenal for implementing real projects. Such
explorations have been undertaken through a series of competitions,
speculative commissions, & lately some real projects, some of them
already completed, others still under construction. The outcome of
these years is seen not just as a series of experiments, defined by the
specific conditions of a project, but as a consistent reservoir of
architectural species to be proliferated, mutated, & evolved in the
near future. With the spirit of a scientific classification, the
genesis of the projects is here identified as the evolution of a series
of "phylums," actualised--& simultaneously virtualised--in their
application to the specific conditions where the projects take place. Phylogenesis
also includes an FOA-curated compilation of previously published texts
from several critics who analyze "external" topics that relate to
different aspects of the firm's discourse. Actar, Spain, 2004, 655pp,

stone at a ceremony participated in by several Holocaust survivors.

John Hitch – Record of a
Life in Architecture Hitch, John
One of the few monographs or biographies on an Australian Architect,
this is a beautifully executed publication. Documenting in great detail
the life & work of John Hitch, it takes us on a journey from
childhood in England to working with the likes of Louis Kahn. From a
historical perspective this book is all too valuable as Australians are
losing records of a generation of brilliant architects. From an
architectural perspective, it is both informative & inspirational,
well worth the read.

Steven Holl is revered among architects and students
for his quiet and consistent modernist buildings. This monograph
documents his career, covering his early houses of the 1970s to his
designs for museums under construction in 2003. With his embrace of
computer technology, Holl made a smooth transition from the 1980s into
the digital design era of the 1990s. At the same time, his practice
expanded globally and his housing projects in Japan opened to
international acclaim. Thames & Hudson UK 2003 PB 240pp $A50.00
