Summary:
A beautifully packaged, idiosyncratic introduction to British building styles, by the acclaimed illustrator and architectural enthusiast Matthew Rice. Covering the grammar and vocabulary of British buildings and the evolution of styles from Norman castles to Norman Foster, the aim is to enable the reader to recognise, understand and date any British building. As Matthew Rice says, ‘Once you can speak any language, conversation can begin, but without it communications can only be brief and brutish. The same is the case with Architecture: an inability to describe the component parts of a building leaves one tongue-tied and unable to begin to discuss what is or is not exciting, dull or peculiar about it.’ With this book in your hand, pocket or car, buildings will break down beguilingly into their component parts, ready for inspection and discussion. There will be no more references to that curly bit on top of the thing with the square protrusions. Ungainly and inept descriptions will be a thing of the past and, fluent in the world of volutes, hood moulds, lobed architraves and bucrania, you will be able to leave a cathedral or country house with as much to talk about as a film or play.

Summary:
Beyond time, out of time, stuck in time. The places Isabelle Tortola chooses to capture in her photographs tell the story of a bucolic, warm, and often introspective Italy. From north to south, with stops in between, Tortola captures rural landscapes with natural ones – suburbs and hidden corners, towering trees and seas that turn amber under the daylight against the backdrop of deep blue. A suspended time that does not, however, escape a sharp undercurrent of tension. Anything could happen at any moment – and everything could change.

This issue of "Harvard Design Magazine" treks into the woods to come to terms with its precarious status as habitat and resource, and to challenge assumptions about wood as material.
