Summary:
Since starting their practice in 1986, Iranian-born, American-educated sisters Gisue and Mojgan Hariri have earned widespread praise for their ambitious body of work. Their up-to-the-minute recasting of classical modernist principles has made them a source of continuing inspiration to design students and professionals alike. Over the course of recent years, the Hariris' portfolio has expanded from small-scale commissions to widely celebrated projects, including the much lauded "Digital House" and the first house to be completed at The Houses at Sagaponac, the ambitious Hamptons development. Among the projects featured in Hariri & Hariri: Houses—illustrated in plans, drawings, and splendid full-color photography—are a new house for the AQUA development in Miami Beach; spectacular urban renovations in New York City; and magnificent new houses across the country, as well as international projects, all of which demonstrate the ability of the Hariris to combine modernist rigor with what New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger identified as an "understanding of the patterns of everyday life."

Summary:
Cruise delightfully recalls a time of gracious travel, as well as the modern-day evolution of cruising at sea.

This up-to-date visual history of ocean travel, complete with full illustrations and a lively survey of every aspect of sailing on the high seas, will appeal to and delight a broad audience including cruise ship enthusiasts, designers, and nostalgia buffs.

Summary:
Centered on his synthesis of the American republic's architectural and democratic traditions, Allan Greenberg's essay moves across geography and through history as the renowned architect and scholar makes the case that America's architectural tradition and political ideals are deeply connected. At the core of the American democratic architectural tradition is the modest, single-family house, which gave rise to the statehouse, the courthouse, the firehouse, the schoolhouse, the jailhouse, and the President's house (as it was known before it became the White House).

Summary:
"U" (Upper & lower case) was a defining voice in world graphic design between 1973 and 1999. It was in some ways a lifestyle magazine for the design community, providing a fascinating intersection of popular culture and graphic design in the last quarter of the 20th century. The list of editorial contributors to "U" is long, many prominent designers worked on designing entire issues. Their best work is showcased in this book through the reproduction of selected covers, stories, and illustrations from the approximately 100 quarterly issues that were published. This book also contains four informal but in-depth chapters on the background, context, use of design and typography, and people involved in making "U" happen over the years.
