Summary:
This monograph documents, for the first time, the work of the Liberec Association of Engineers and Architects--known as SIAL--founded in 1968 by the Czech architects Karel Hubacek, Miroslav Masák and Otakar Binar. Joined by other prominent modernist architects in Prague, the group was active into the 1980s. Despite difficult political circumstances, SIAL gained recognition both at home and among Western architects. This book looks at the work of the Liberec collective in its full scope. The first three chapters, presenting SIAL’s production from the 60s, 70s and 80s, are followed by an analysis of 25 of their most important projects and buildings, as well as profiles of the most prominent SIAL architects, with a supplement comprising almost 500 reproductions.

British architect John Pawson (born 1949) is a master of minimalism. His buildings and objects are defined by his devotion to simplicity and the art of “leaving out,” and by their purity of space, proportion, light and material.

Summary:
British architect John Pawson (born 1949) is a master of minimalism. His buildings and objects are defined by his devotion to simplicity and the art of “leaving out,” and by their purity of space, proportion, light and material. Influenced by Japanese culture and minimalist sculpture, Pawson defines his idea of the minimum as a perfection and quality that arises when every detail and connection is reduced to only that which is essential. With models, large-format photographs, material studies and objects, this publication provides an overview of Pawson’s work and demonstrates the phenomenon of “emptiness.” Among the projects presented are the Cistercian monastery Novy Dvur in Czech Republic (2004), the footbridge Sackler Crossing in London (2006), the Stone House for La Triennale di Milano (2010) and the St. Moritz church in Augsburg, currently in its planning stages.

Summary:
Between 1947 and 1953, Le Corbusier (1887-1965) produced a suite of 19 lithographs and illustrated calligraphic poems that are now regarded as the most complete statement of his worldview. The lithographs and texts of Le poème de l'angle droit are arranged in seven "zones" lettered A-G, and are assigned a thematic title and a color. Thus: A is Environment (green); B is Mind; C is Flesh (brown); D is Fusion (red); E is Character (white); F is Offering (yellow); and G is Instrument (purple). These titles, and their color codings, were in part inspired by Le Corbusier's study of alchemy, and each chapter in the book contains a subset of poetical meditations on themes related to alchemical theories of tensions between elements, colors and genders, and the relationship between spiritual evolution and architecture. Le poème de l'angle droit was published in 1955; when exhibited, it was arranged in a gridded, top-heavy cross composed of seven rows, an arrangement that is itself depicted at the beginning of the suite. Le Corbusier's handwritten text remains in its original French throughout; an English translation of the text is included as an appendix.
