Compendium for civic economy

Compendium for the Civic Economy - $465

2 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

“A civic economy is emerging, one which is fundamentally both open and social.” In the aftermath of the financial crisis, and in an era of profound environmental and social change, a collective reflection is taking place on how to share civic prosperity. In the meantime, an increasing number of social innovators are getting on with the job of remaking local economies. Though locally driven, their initiatives are rooted in global cultural and technological trends that preceded the recent economic downturn. Compendium […]

The Fourth Dimension and Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art

The Fourth Dimension and Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art - $

19 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  In this groundbreaking study, first published in 1983 and unavailable for over a decade, Linda Dalrymple Henderson demonstrates that two concepts of space beyond immediate perception — the curved spaces of non-Euclidean geometry and, most important, a higher, fourth dimension of space — were central to the development of modern art. The possibility of a spatial fourth dimension suggested that our world might be merely a shadow or section of a higher dimensional existence. That iconoclastic idea encouraged radical […]

Le Corbusier Redrawn: The Houses - $385

15 February, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Le Corbusier (1887-1965) was the most significant architect of the twentieth century. Every architecture student examines the Swiss master’s work. Yet, all too frequently, they rely on reproductions of faded drawings of uneven size and quality. Le Corbusier Redrawn presents the only collection of consistently rendered original drawings (at 1:200 scale) of all twenty-six of Le Corbusier’s residential works. Using the original drawings from the Le Corbusier Foundation’s digital archives, architect Steven Park has beautifully redrawn 130 perspectival sections, as well as […]

Javier Sordo Madaleno

Javier Sordo Madaleno – $1,695

30 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  A thrilling tour through 12 of the most recent projects from architect Javier Sordo Madaleno, who is best known for thoughtfully designed large-scale projects such as convention centers, hospitals, hotels and commercial plazas that combine a monumental modernity with influences of Mexican vernacular. Sordo Madaleno’s father, the mid-20th-century architect Juan Sordo Madaleno, collaborated with Barragan, Serrano and Legorreta, among others; the son’s work pays homage to his father’s legacy yet takes it into the new generation, as this finely […]

luis barragan's gardens of el pedregal

Luis Barragan’s Gardens of El Pedregal – $645

3 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  The name Luis Barragan evokes images of Latin American modernism-brightly colored plain surfaces set off against lush foliage. His 1,250-acre Gardens of El Pedregal, begun in 1945 on the lava fields of south of Mexico City, were dotted with houses and plazas, fountains and ponds, cacti and pepper trees. Barragan considered El Pedregal his most important project, and critics have described the houses and gardens there as a turning point in Mexican architecture.This book examines El Pedregal’s program and […]

Citizens of No Place: An Architectural Graphic Novel – $325

2 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Citizens of No Place is a collection of short stories on architecture and urbanism, graphically represented using manga-style storyboards. Fiction is used as a strategy to unpack thoughts about architecture. Modeled as a proto-manifesto, it is a candid chronicle of a highly critical thought process in the tradition of paper architecture (especially that of architect John Hejduk and Bernard Tschumi’s Manhattan Transcript). The short stories explore many architectural problems through the unique language of the graphic novel, helping usher the next […]

Fit- An Architect's Manifesto

Fit: An Architect’s Manifesto – $350

20 October, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  Fit is a book about architecture and society that seeks to fundamentally change how architects and the public think about the task of design. Distinguished architect and urbanist Robert Geddes argues that buildings, landscapes, and cities should be designed to fit: fit the purpose, fit the place, fit future possibilities. Fit replaces old paradigms, such as form follows function, and less is more, by recognizing that the relationship between architecture and society is a true dialogue–dynamic, complex, and, if carried […]

Why-we-build1

Why We Build – $575

13 October, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  A provocative and brilliant examination of what inspires great architecture and how buildings can change your life. Architecture, good and bad, is shaped by emotions. In Why We Build Rowan Moore shows how buildings are driven by human emotions and desires – such as hope, power, money, sex, and the idea of home – and how buildings then shape our experiences. He explores the making of buildings from conception to inhabitation, and reveals the paradoxical power of architecture: it looks fixed and […]

The Production of Space is his major philosophical work and its translation has been long awaited by scholars in many different fields. The book is a search for a reconciliation between mental space (the space of the […]
