Summary:
Making full use of the Soane Museum and country house archives, Ptolemy Dean here examines ten country house projects, reconstructing the creative transactions between client and architect, architect and skilled craftsman. It is impossible to understand Soane's intentions without the drawings, sketches and letters which enable us to trace the process of design. With the author's own drawings in watercolor to illustrate Soane's use of light and space, and photographs by Martin Charles, Sir "John Soane and the Country Estate" offers an insight into the work of a great architect.

Summary:
Robert Smithson: Art In Continual Movement is a seminal compilation of material from different archives in the Netherlands and the US: photographs, film recordings, drawings, texts and letters dealing with the famous land art work Broken Circle/Spiral Hill in Emmen, Drenthe (Netherlands), which Robert Smithson designed in 1971 for the exhibition Sonsbeek buiten de perken. This is one of only three preserved land art works of Smithson worldwide. The significance of this particular art work has been relatively neglected in the extensive literature on Smithson’s work, nevertheless, it is one of his key works.
