This book explores Wright's lessons on how climate, sustainability, sunlight, modern technology, local materials, and passive environmental controls can become the inspiration for excellent design, and highlights a selection of Wright's buildings to show how he dealt with these issues. The book is organized by the green concepts Wright used--including passive solar design and the use of thermal massing, passive berm insulation, environmentally sensitive landscaping, passive ventilation systems, passive natural light, and intelligent and artful adaptation of technology--with examples from different houses. It shows how Wright evolved certain ideas that continue to spur discussions of green architecture design today.

Anthony McCall’s works can be defined as half way between sculpture and cinema. Sculpture because the shapes fill a three-dimensional space, and therefore one can move around them or walk through them; cinema because the shapes and spaces are made of projected light, that little by little changes its form in time.

Sculpture because the shapes fill a three-dimensional space, and therefore one can move around them or walk through them; cinema because the shapes and spaces are made of projected light, that little by little changes its form in time. The book “Breath [the vertical works]” analyses the artist’s works from their aesthetic peculiarities through the creative course of the author. The text by Hal Foster is rich in references to 20th century history and philosophy, and puts McCall’s works in the wide context of contemporary artistic research.

This edition contains impeccable reproductions of Albers' famous series, which beautifully illustrate the artist's primary thesis, that the discrepancy between visual information received by the retina and what the mind perceives proves that this information is not intrinsic to color itself, but is dependent on its relationship with its surroundings.
