Pieces of furniture, like manifestos, become signatures of architectural style. The fifty-five architects featured here include early modern architectural pioneers such as Otto Wagner, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Antoni Gaudí, and Walter Gropius, together with more recent modern masters such as Oscar Niemeyer, Santiago Calatrava, Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, and Daniel Libeskind.

From the beginning of her career, Turner has used architecture as subject matter. Ambiguity has always been a hallmark of her work where solids become voids, causing positive and negative to reverse. The photos are small fragments of architecture taken out of context. Through her eyes, the subject is decomposed and recreated, assuming a new meaning. The photographs are quiet, yet dynamic, beautifully framed compositions. Architects have commented that she exposes elements of their work they never imagined existed. Thus, while using architecture as subject matter to invent her own worlds, Turner is also revealing some of its inherent complexities.

Summary:
Frank Gehry's startling architecture for the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles has been depicted in two other books by Balcony Press (Iron and Frozen Music). This new release describes the daring and skill that produced the pipe organ which is the visual focus of the auditorium. This book gives honor to the creativity and craftsmanship of those who designed, fabricated, and installed this instrument. (Façade design by Frank Gehry, tonal design by Manuel Rosales, construction of complex components by Glatter-Götz Orgelbau). It also pays tribute to the artistry of the organists who inaugurated it. The generous quantity and quality of the color photographs are balanced with a readable text that describes the development of this pipe organ from initial sketches, to models, to the completed instrument. Included are interesting interviews with designers, builders and musicians.

Revealing the range of aesthetic viewpoints in architecture since the late 19th century, these drawings also cumulatively trace the development of the field, almost incidentally making the crucial point that in this increasingly technological age, the age-old discipline of drawing is as vital and inventive as ever. The book opens with an exploration of the relatively brief history of collecting architectural drawings, whose practice dates back little farther than the 16th century.
