Summary:
Los Angeles–based Grey Crawford (born 1951) produced the photo series ''El Mirage'' in the southern Mojave Desert in 1975–78. Influenced early on by the forms of fellow artists Ellsworth Kelly and Frank Stella, and later by land artists such as Michael Heizer and Gordon Matta-Clark, Crawford's work features minimalist structures made of glass and steel. These abstract works focus on the artist's interventions in nature and architecture that seek to extend the limits of photography into land art and hard-edged abstraction. Crawford's day-to-day job working as a photographer for architects reveals its payoff in the work's smart presentation of its difficult subject. Besides the black-and-white photos that Crawford is famous for, this volume also contains Crawford's experiments in colour photography.

Berlin, the Electropolis: Buildings of electricity supply, which have provided the metropolis with power for more than 100 years, catch one's eye all over the city. Architecturally and aesthetically, they are still impressive, but technical and economic progress has made many such works redundant today. Consequently, innovative concepts are needed to uncover the huge potential of these materpieces of industrial architecture for new scenarios of use. New Power presents more than 20 buildings that are available for re-use. Besides well-known transformer stations designed by Franz Heinrich Schwechten and Hans Heinrich Müller, high-quality architectural projects from the 50s and 60s are also introduced here. In addition, examples of successful re-use during recent years indicate the diversity of projects that can secure the buildings of the Electropolis a rewarding future.

Cambridge, Massachusetts–based architect Peter Rose has built on every scale during the first three decades of his practice. High-profile projects, such as his master plan for the Montreal waterfront and the award-winning Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal have brought him both public recognition and the respect of his peers. Besides being known for his artisan's love of solid building materials, craftsmanship, and old-fashioned building methods, it is perhaps no surprise that his residential projects function as laboratories for new ideas. This book presents five such houses in complete detail from client collaboration and site evaluation to construction. Rose draws inspiration from the outward simplicity and order of houses of the past but recognizes that their quiet strength depends on a complexity that comes only from thoughtful consideration of site, plan, exterior, and details.
