Summary:
The first issue of the legendary architecture journal "Pencil Points" appeared in 1920 as "a journal for the drafting room." Born out of "The Architectural Review", and merged with "Progressive Architecture" in 1943, "Pencil Points" became the leading voice in architectural and graphic design when modernism flourished, introducing key players from America and Europe. It also established the agenda in architectural theory: multivolume pieces by John Harbeson, Talbot Hamlin, Hugh Ferris, and others dealt with major issues that are still relevant today - architectural education and practice, small-house design and portable housing, city planning, and the influence (or not) of modernism. Items like George Nelson's series of reports from Europe in the early 1930's, H. Van Buren Magonigle's diatribes against modernism, and a glossary of École des Beaux-Arts terms sit side-by-side with the best architectural drawings and photographs of the 20th century. "Pencil Points Reader" re-publishes the most important essays from the journal's 23 years, arranged chronologically, and offers an insider's introduction by John Morris Dixon, the former executive editor of "Progressive Architecture".

Summary:
The Sydney Opera House is one of the world’s great icons and a symbol of Australia. The overall image which it has maintained does reflect the brilliant design work that Utzon invested in the project, even if it had a troubled history and it was subject to many changes. This book reveals for the first time exactly what happened. Francoise Fromonot has researched documentation relating to every single phase of project--in the process discovering a precious collection of photographic negatives depicting each stage in the construction work--and her story reveals how changes in the political situation and crude professional scheming led to the Australians ultimately abandoning the great challenge the Danish architect had offered them. The text and pictures tell a unique story, both of a building and of an architect who set us an example we still do not fully understand.

Summary:
"Building with earth" is a comprehensive guide to describe the re-emergence of earthen architecture in North America, where adventurous builders are combining timeless forms such as arches, vaults, and domes with modern materials and techniques. Using cheap recycled or salvaged polypropylene tubing or textile grain sacks, even relatively inexperienced builders can construct an essentially tree-free building, from foundation to curved roof. With ordinary barbed wire between courses for tensile strength, and with beautifully textured earth- and lime-based finish plasters for weather protection, "earthbag" buildings are being used for retreats, studios, and full-time homes in a wide variety of climates and conditions. This book will tell and show readers how to plan and build their own earthen "Superadobe" building.

Summary:
Providing hard data for trends that many perceive only vaguely and some deny altogether, "Designing for diversity" reveals a profession rife with gender and racial discrimination and examines the aspects of architectural practice that hinder or support the full participation of women and persons of color. Drawing on interviews and surveys of hundreds of architects, Kathryn H. Anthony outlines some of the forms of discrimination that recur in architecture, such as being confined to certain kinds of positions, typically interior design for women, government work for African Americans, and computer-aided design for Asian-American architects. Anthony discusses the profession's attitude toward flexible schedules and part-time contracts and identifies strategies that have helped underrepresented individuals advance in the profession. Given the traditional mismatch between diverse consumers and predominantly white male producers of the built environment, plus the shifting population balance toward communities of color, Anthony contends that the architectural profession staves off true diversity at its own peril. Through her book, practicing architects, managers of firms, and educators will learn how to create conditions more welcoming to a diversity of users as well as designers of the built environment.
