In 1968, American architects Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour joined together with students from Yale University and took on Las Vegas as a subject of research. The group spent three weeks in libraries, four days in Los Angeles, and ten days in Las Vegas. The research led to the 1972 publication of the seminal architectural theory treatise Learning from Las Vegas. Photography and film were employed equally within as means of argumentation and representation. The original material has since been stored in the archives of Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates in Philadelphia. The firm has now opened up its archives and made the photographs available.

By Scott Johnson

The skyscraper continues to inspire architects and visual artists of all types.

A towering physical presence the skyscraper has come to embody many of our unexamined notions and secret desires about wealth ambition and dominance. Paradoxically as the skyscraper building type changed to address shifting socioeconomic conditions its perception by mainstream culture has become simpler and more consumable. Featuring rarely seen images and lively text Building Tall explores the phenomenon of the skyscraper--from its legacy of supreme technical achievement to the meanings of its various artistic interpretations.

By Otto Bollnow

£25.00 01 May 2011 Paperback Hyphen Press

Following its publication in Germany in 1963 Otto Friedrich Bollnow's Human Space quickly became essential reading within a cross-disciplinary field of subject areas including architecture anthropology and philosophy. In this first English translation Bollnow conceives the human experience of space not merely as a philosophical problem but also as an extension of his research into psychology human behavior and the conventional domains of architecture: living in a building in an apartment in a house. Human Space is a remarkable investigation of space as we experience it by a man many consider to be the father of spatial and architectural anthropology. This lush hardcover edition includes an introduction by Joseph Kohlmaier that situates the work in the context of philosophical and architectural discussion.

By Chiara Ingrosso

£29.95 04 Apr 2011 Paperback Skira

Barcelona is an emblematic example of how a European and Mediterranean city can be radically transformed. Starting in the eighties, through investment in contemporary architecture, tourism, and advanced services, the city abandoned its traditional identity as an industrial center. Through extensive "in the field" investigation, giving voice to key figures in culture, architecture, and politics, and a vast array of images, the author gives a critical account of the various "stages" in Barcelona's recent history, putting them into historical context and drawing parallels with local and international currents.

The tools of representation and communication in architectural design and practice are not simply neutral vehicles but rather active agents that occasionally constrain as well as catalyses certain design outcomes and modes of design thinking. This relationship leads to cumulative influences that slowly change the very nature of design process, products, professional organization and discourse in design.
This book traces instrumented imagination in architecture from antiquity to the contemporary age of digital media by looking at the development and adoption of various instruments of imagination in architectural history from humble paper and wooden models to digital media. The book offers a fresh historical perspective on the notion of instrumented imagination, a theme that is expected to increasingly occupy both theoreticians and practitioners in the coming decades.

The Most Beautiful Museum in the World

01 Oct 2010 00:00:00 GMT

By Freddy Langer

£22.99 01 Oct 2010 Hardback Hatje Cantz

To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Denmark's Louisiana Museum of Modern Art--originally designed in 1958 by Wilhelm Wohlert and J0rgen Bo, and widely considered one of the most intimate, personal and contemplative venues for Modern and Contemporary art to be found anywhere in the world--photographers Tine Harden and Ole Frederickson and writer Freddy Langer have collaborated on this meditative volume, which captures the spirit, the landscape, the stunning views, the architecture and the people of this unique institution. Designed to evoke the state of mind one enters along the short walk from the Humlebaek train station to the building, "The Most Beautiful Museum In the World" is an intentionally modest publication. The opposite of a lavish coffee-table book in both size and essence, it reflects the museum's longstanding efforts never to appear more important than the art it presents--despite its historical significance.

Your Photo Guide to Electrical Codes Plumbing Codes Building Codes

By Bruce Barker

£16.99 24 Sep 2010 Paperback Rockport Publishers Inc.

Codes are a fact of life for do-it-yourselfers, but getting good information on codes can be a nightmare. Anyone who has ever opened a code book (or even a code interpretation book) looking for the answer to a building, wiring or plumbing question has found the same thing: a lot of arcane, technical words and cross-referencing, pages of meaningless charts, but no information that make sense. "The Complete Guide to Codes for Homeowners "combines decades of experience by author and IRC-certified home inspector Bruce Barker with Creative Publishing's famous studio photography, and the result is the first truly clear and easy to use codes reference book for homeowners and tradesmen alike. Current with 2009 International Residential Code (IRC).

Hill Stead

31 Jul 2010 00:00:00 GMT

By James F. O'Gorman

£30.00 31 Jul 2010 Hardback Princeton Architectural Press

Nestled in the bucolic village of Farmington, Connecticut, at the summit of 152 hilltop acres, sits what many architectural historians consider to be the finest Colonial Revival house in the United States. The 33,000-square-foot Hill-Stead was built for Alfred Pope, a wealthy Cleveland industrialist looking for an East Coast country estate to house his world-class collection of French Impressionist art. The house was designed by his daughter, Theodate, a self-trained architect of considerable talent and ambition at a time when women of her class were expected to focus on family and social status. In the spring of 1901, Alfred and Ada Pope moved into their "great new house on a hilltop," as American" novelist and occasional houseguest Henry James would later describe it. Just as impressive are Hill-Stead's grounds, designed in consultation with landscape architect Warren H. Manning---featuring miles of stone walls, lawns, meadows, and woodlands---the crowning jewel of which is the Sunken Garden designed for Theodate by her friend Beatrix Farrand. "When Theodate died in 1946, her will stipulated that the contents of the house never be moved, lent, or sold. Today, it is maintained along with the grounds as a museum. Hill-Stead: The Country Place of Theodate Pope Riddle is the first comprehensive monograph on this classic American home. Editor James F. O'Gorman combines gorgeous color photographs of the house's architecture, art, furnishings, and landscape with the latest historical scholarship. The nineteen period rooms presented contain paintings by Cassatt, Degas, Manet, Monet, and Whistler; Japanese wood-block prints; and works on paper by Diirer, Millet, Piranesi, and Whistler. Furnishings, including original Chippendale-, Sheraton-, and Empire-period antiques, are all there---right down to Theodate's parrot, stuffed but still charming in his pagoda cage in her Morning Room. The family silver and china can be viewed in the Butler's Pantry, and monogrammed bath towels still hang over the huge porcelain tubs. Hill-Stead includes a long-overdue reappraisal of the design contributions of Theodate Pope Riddle. The design of Hill-Stead, long credited to the firm McKim, Mead & White, is revealed to be the work of one of this country's earliest important women architects. Hill-Stead features a preface by architect Robert A. M. Stern
