Toyo Ito Ito, T
The much anticipated Toyo Ito monograph has finally arrived in stock! Toyo Ito’s Sendai Mediatheque brought about a change in approach to engineering and contemporary architecture. His work moved toward a light, sensuous, and often organic architecture that engages with the cities around it and the people who inhabit it. These ideas are exemplified in this unique monograph, in which Toyo Ito presents a selection of his projects, all extensively and beautifully illustrated with photos, diagrams, drawings, and computer realizations. Each of the book's projects and thematic sections is introduced with a short essay by Ito.

KIESLER, Frederick J.
Frederick J. Kiesler: Endless SpaceEssays by Bogner D. Lynn G. Phillips L. & Lebbeus Woods.
Architect, painter, designer, set designer & art historian, Kiesler was tireless in his pursuit of a radical new concept of interior spaces. His dream was a polydimensional living space, an organic continuum in which colour, form & light- combined with magical & mythical themes- would create a unique cosmos. This book examines the multifaceted work of Kiesler, but predominately focuses on his project "Endless House". HatjeCantz Austria 2001 PB 110pp $A85.00
Friedrich Kiesler: Endless House 1947 - 1961
One of the many merits of Kiesler's architectural concept for the Endless House is that it wedded profound artistic exploration to different academic disciplines such as psychology, the natural sciences, the social sciences & the arts. With respect to its demands on living space, Kiesler's approach to design set the standards to which today's ubiquitous "bubble architecture" must measure up.

Sequences [Saw Only the Moon] Kordetzky, Lars
This book takes an architectural approach to the psyche. An intervention in the isolation room of the psychiatric clinic in 1997 was the point of departure for a confrontation between architecture and the psyche. Collapsing edges, dislocated perception, an enclosed world and liberated space, ...a network of thoughts and illusions, "sequences" describes the development of architectural structures in a precariously balanced in-between world. Introduced by Lebbeus Woods it is a post-modern anti-institutional work focussed on the works of Lars Kordetsky.Springer-Wien, USA 2001, PB $A 60.00

Lagos Wide & Close: Interactive journey into an exploding city (DVD)  Koolhaas, R. & van der Haak, B.
Lagos, home to an estimated 15 million people, is a dangerous, polluted & dysfunctional city. Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, with the help of documentary filmmaker Bregtje van der Haak, decided to study this megapolis in an attempt to understand the hidden logic that makes a “dysfunctional” city function.

This book is born of that instability. Content is a follow-up to SMLXL, an inventory of seven years of OMA's tireless labour.

The many facets of Koolhaas come under review: his take on architecture theory & the conceptual apparatus he employs, his vision of urbanism & the contemporary city, the designs put into practise by OMA & the research projects of the AMO think tank, which exist outside the immediate boundaries of architecture.

Projects for Prada Part 1 OMA/AMO Rem Koolhaas
This book documents the work undertaken by OMA/AMO on the LA, San Francisco and New York stores for Prada. The projects relate to Koolhaas' ideas on shopping (see below) and the critique lies in developing strategies to cope with Prada's global expansion, and the inevitable problems in maintaining and advancing its corporate image. This book is thus a reference on architectural design for fashion and shopping, as well as a strategy on how architecture can influence and develop new ways of controlling global consumerism. A great book with plenty of research, but also great models, materials, concepts, tests, and plenty of other supporting info.

Lacaton & Vassal Misc
Designed by the architects’ themselves, this monograph is published in conjunction with an exhibition of their work at the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine in Paris. The illustrated monograph gathers all the projects that have been designed by the office and presents them in thematic groups, such as beginnings, landscape, dreams, freedom, transformation and the city – together, these themes are woven into a story that challenges the architects’ proposals. In denying the obvious, the architects seek to emphasise what is essential and specific to each situation and context, while in turn proposing an architecture that celebrates freedom.

CCIB Barcelona International Convention Centre  Mateo, J. L.
Mateo writes, ”The convention centre is the typical contemporary non-place. They are spaces of large dimension where flexibility is restricted to produce architectural non-expressivity, tending to absolute rubbish.” 
The CCIB is one of the main structures that housed the 2004 Forum of Cultures. A combination of massive concrete and high precision, large-span steel, the structure has been described as “simultaneously conventional and monstrous, banal and superhuman”. It is not properly a building but a set of objects of differing functions: hotel, office building, large and small exhibition spaces, public lobbies, and restaurants etc. “CCIB” is a record of how Mateo dealt with the challenge of Barcelona. Mateo’s work has been much admired by other architects and this handsomely presented volume has proved very popular. Actar, Spain, 2005, 314pp, HB. $A 75.00

Mies in America Lambert, Phyllis
This major study of one of the 20th century's greatest architects re-evaluates the entire body of work undertaken by Mies van der Rohe between his emigration to America in 1938 and his death in 1969. Based on considerable new research and bringing to light previously unstudied material - drawings and collages, photographs, project documentations, letters and extensive interviews with many of those who worked with Mies - this is the first study to make full and in-depth use of the riches of archival material. It's nine essays, distinct in style of argumentation, focus and ambition, constitute a new interpretation of a major figure in architectural history. Written to accompany the incredibly popular and highly acclaimed exhibition at Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, this is the ultimate and definitive publication on the later work of Mies van der Rohe.

Dense and detailed, the polemic set of texts is supported by original documents, (maps, drawings and photographs) as well as many other images of how his architecture in Berlin is maintaining a strong prescence in both the built and philosophical climates of architecture today.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe & Lilly Reich: Furniture and Interiors Lange C.
Mies van der Rohe and interior designer Lilly Reich worked closely together between 1926 to 1939, and an example of what came out of this partnership is manifested in the commissions by businessman and art collector Hermann Lange. The furniture and interiors for Haus Lange (1928) and “Crous” apartment (1930) for Lange’s daughter are perhaps the best examples of what was produced during the collaboration. Each piece of furniture and interior featured for the residences are documented in detail, but the separation between the two creative individuals remains arguably indistinguishable.

Proceed & Be Bold: Rural Studio after Samuel Mockbee  Oppenheimer-Dean, A. & Hursley, T.
In 1992 Samuel Mockbee launched the Rural Studio to create homes & community buildings for the poor while offering hands-on architecture training for coming generations. He created striking buildings of exceptional design using recycled & curious materials: hay bales, surplus tires, leftover carpet tiles, even a discarded 1980 Chevy Caprice windshield. Mockbee died in 2001, yet the Rural Studio has continued to thrive as a tribute to its founder's vision. In 2004 the AIA posthumously awarded Mockbee its highest honour, the Gold Medal for Architecture. This new book explains the changes the studio has undergone during the last four years & its continuing ability to "proceed & be bold," as Mockbee counselled. PAP, USA, 2005, 175pp, PB$A58.50

Popov Architects: Selected works 1999-2007. Johnson, A
The dominant approach of architecture in Sydney over the past two decades has been driven by a reciprocal relationship of mimetic dialogues that take visual cues from both the landscape and recollections of a distinctively vernacular Australian identity. In contrast to this, Alex Popov’s work is one that has been grounded in abstract monumentality; its dialogue, cerebral in its abstraction and lyrical in its experienced reality.
