RAYMOND, Antonin & Noemi
Crafting a Modern World: the architecture & design of Antonin & Noemi Raymond Helfrich K. Whitaker W.
The first comprehensive book in English on Antonin and Noémi Raymond, the duo sometimes referred to as the duo that creatively transformed design from 1917 to 1966, they are best remembered for a series of finely detailed structures built in Japan during the 1930s. The Raymond’s had prolific careers that included designs for housing, factories, offices, churches, and schools as well as furniture, fabrics, and graphic design. With a combination of their modern European backgrounds, and heavily influenced by the traditional vernacular crafts discovered during their travels through Japan, this designing duo collaborated with some of the twentieth century's leading designers, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Isamu Noguchi, and Fernand Léger.

REICHEN & ROBERT
Reichen & Robert
This French practice has developed a reputation and acclaim for a number of conversion, refurbishment and restoration projects that blend the old with the new, program on program, and contexts with relationships. Initially, it was the conversion of a number of 19th century iron and glass 'sheds', including the Grande Hall de La Villette that won their reputation. Recent examples of work also include the development of one of the sites for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, and the headquarters of Nestle France in a former chocolate factory. With projects realised in France, Greece, USA, Qatar and Australia (masterplanning in Sydney and the construction of an apartment building and hospital) Robert & Reichen certainly deserve their reputation. An excellent book for those looking for a range of projects where refurbishment and sensitive contexts feature widely. Birkhauser, Switzerland, 2003. PB 173pp $A 108.50

RICCIOTTI, Rudy
Rudy Ricciotti Ardenne,Paul
Rudy Ricciotti was born in 1952 in Algiers. He Studied in Geneva and Marseilles before opening his own architectural office in Bandol (Bouches-du-Rhone) in 1980. Since the beginning of the 1990s Ricciotti has been influenced by Arte Povera and his buildings have become more austere and functional, making use of minimalist and "low-tech" solutions. With the opening of the concert hall in Potsdam, and the construction of a foot bridge in Seoul, Ricciotti has found international recognition. This publication is a detailed yet critical analysis of his work to date. Birkhauser Germany 2003 160pp PB $A 110.00

Gilbert Rohde: Modern Design for Modern Living Ross P
By tracing his career at the Herman Miller Furniture Company, where Rohde was a designer in the 1930s and 1940s, Phyllis Ross places his work in a broad cultural and economic context. The book shows how Rohde’s focus on comfort, informality, multi-functionality, and flexibility transposed European design antecedents into furnishings suitable for American lifestyles. A champion of modular components, he experimented with new industrial materials, including Plexiglas, and produced furniture with biomorphic forms. Not only did Rohde introduce modern designs, but he also devised a complete merchandising strategy for their promotion.

Carlo Scarpa was a virtuoso of light, a master of detail, a connoisseur of materials. In his lifetime he was often dismissed as "merely" an artist who also wanted to build. Today, however, it is clear that his own brand of Modernism made him one of the 20th-century architectural greats. Major contributions to his fame, though, were museum projects such as the Gipsoteca Canoviana in Possagno and the Museo di Castelvecchio in Verona. Taschen, UK 2002 170pp $A 44.95

Alvaro Siza Modern Redux Figueira J [ed]
Modern Redux assembles 14 of Siza's most representative projects from the past 10 years. Maintaining the premises which have always characterized his work- the delicacy of the contours, a specificity to the location, the subtle treatment of space and a certain serene quality- it celebrates Alvaro Siza's admirable capacity for reinvention and demonstrates that the heroic spirit of Modernist architecture is alive and well.

van der POL, Liesbeth
Liesbeth van der Pol
Liesbeth van der Pol designs buildings with strong characters, buildings "that are not ashamed of themselves," buildings intended to add something of themselves, something unique even, to the human environment in which they stand. Two essayist describe and analyze Van der Pol's work: cultural historian Eelco Beukers plumbs the deeper layers of her architecture, while architectural critic Geert Bekaert places her buildings in an architectural-historical context. Although Van der Pol's buildings are extremely varied, with few evident similarities between them, the two authors discover surprising constants in her oeuvre, ones that are less related to the buildings' outward appearance than to the architect's manner of seeing, her design approach, and her deep-rooted ideals regarding the relationship between people and the built environment.

van der LAAN, Dom Hans
Dom Hans van der Laan Ferlenga, Alberto, Verde Paola
The work of the Dutch Benedictine Monk and architect (1940-1991) is typified by the sinlge biggest paradox of design - the conflict between the sense and the intellect. His work then is an obsessive study of this problem, with an emphasis on making as a design process, a combination of the intellect and senses. van der Laan's architecture brings new meaning to the aesthetics of the beautifully austere, with a range of projects, drawings, religious buildings and associated religious objects documented in this book. The 'otherness' between creation and the goal is the object evidenced in the work. Architectura & Natura, Holland, 2001. PB 203pp $A 84.15

The Storm & The Fall Woods L.
By any measure, Lebbeus Woods is one of the most original architects working today. His body of theoretical work focuses on buildings of crisis, whether marred by major earthquakes, suffering the effects of economic embargo, or damaged by war. Since the destruction of the World Trade Center, his designs have taken on new meaning and significance. The book focuses on two recent Woods installations - one at the Houghton Gallery at New York's Cooper Union, the other at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, Paris - that address the role of today's architecture.  Both pieces are explored in Woods's powerful sketches, renderings, models, & constructions, exposing the mutations that enable them to be. A postscript of his hopeful design for a new World Center relates even more of his ideas, & essays by Anthony Vidler & Paul Virilio offer insights into the significance of the work.

Groundscrapers and Subscrapers of Hamzah & Yeang, Ivor Richards
Funky Graphics, realistic computer generated models and beautiful photographs guide the reader through the innovative and ingenious mind of Malaysian-born architect Ken Yeang. Illustrating such projects as the Malaysian Design Technology Centre, the book details an approach to architecture involving low to medium rise, ecologically responsible structures which challenge the futility and non-specificity of many existing urban architectural forms. Introducing new concepts and attitudes towards an integration of landscape, architecture and ecology, this book is invaluable for any architect, town planner and urban designer who is striving towards a new and responsible method of practise.

Rethinking the Skyscraper The Complete Architecture of Ken Yeang Powell. R
 T&H, UK, 1999.  208pp PB $A 75.00
Reinventing the Skyscraper Yeang, Ken While he's busy saving the world from self-destruction and teaching and leading new design methodologies, it's a wonder how Ken Yeang ever gets time to write his books. Always pushing the envelope and reinventing conventional building and construction, he is one of the few architect's who practise what they preach and is making a big difference not only to architecture, but within the global community also. Focussed on building ecologically and socially responsible vertical structures, Yeang explores the notion of inhabiting the sky and documents in technical detail how we might construct novel designs such as streets in the sky or mobile high rise towers. Managing to avoid speculative and ridiculous ideas, the book has a sense of pragmatism and realistic intents - both the work of Ken Yeang and this book (one of many) are a great inspiration and prove that anything is possible. This book is the sequel to the popular "Skyscraper, Bioclimatically Considered".Wiley-Academy, UK, 2002 223pp PB $A 103.95
